Manipulates the Law of Conservation of EnergyManipulates the Law of Conservation of Energy

The amount of energy that goes in the machine The amount of energy that goes in the machine = to the amount of energy that comes out.= to the amount of energy that comes out.

Work Work in in = Work = Work out out

FFinin x d x d in in = F = F out out x d x d outout

Machines and WorkMachines and Work Machines DO NOT decrease work!!!Machines DO NOT decrease work!!! They change the Force and distance They change the Force and distance
