you to know how simple machines such as level
inclined planes, screws, wheel and axles, and wedges are found in common tools
WHAT I KNOW: Write TRUE if the statement is corrector FALSE IS is incorrect,
1. A simple machine allows us to apply a smaller force over a larger
distance to move an object,
2. A wheel and axle move objects to a greater depth by increasing the
force applied
3. A wedge is simple machine that consists of two inclined planes,
giving it a thin edge and a thick end.
4. A lever can be designed to reduce the amount of force required to
lift a weight
5. Pulleys can change the amount and for the direction of the force
applied (effort force).
6. To reduce the amount of force required to move an object, an
inclined plane is used.
7. A screw has a circular disk or frame turning on a central axis.
8. In all levers, the fulcrum is placed only in one location along the bar.
9. Wedges are used to cut or split objects apart.
10. The simple machines are lever, screw,pulley, and wedges only.
