Im still finding this activity very useful and thinking this could make a good final solution to my way of learning this topic. The only negative side of this activity as it cane go ..on..and ..on ...on and im having a bit of difficulty knowing when to stop and when i have covered everything. The idea of this activity is to have small manageable amounts of information and i am finding that some concepts are difficult to explain on just one card and require a couple of cards to fully explain it. 


I am finding that the previous source i started looking at right at the start are proving much more useful now i am doing this task. such as the technology-student website however they do not cover everything i ned to know so have had to branch out and look at some other internet source as all the answers are not all in just one place. This is what i am trying to achieve with  my task, create just one place for all the answers (well most of them)

Ive been having a real problem trying to get my head around mechanical advantage.... i understand   Load divided by the effort which gives you a figure however i dont really understand what that means?..... for example if it was 500N / 100N = 5MA ...... what does that mean?..... ive looked on various sites such as the one below which give examples of how to calculate it including the GCSE bite size guide and i still am not sure..... is it saying that you can life 5 times the amount of effort you are putting in?...... this sounds correct to me?.... 

below is a useful website i looked at to understand mechanical advantage better, but again as i said it doesn't really confirm the questions i need answer ..
