What is the wedge use for?
Its used to separate an object apart
what is a lever made of?
A lever is an object that is used with a pivot point, or 'fulcrum', to multiply the force applied to another object. Levers are often long and skinny and made of rigid material.
what is the pulley made of ?
The pulley is a simple machine made with a wheel and a rope, cord, or chain.
what is inclined plane made of?
An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load.
How was the wheel made?
An axle is a rod or pole centered in the wheel
what is a wedge?
an inclined plane turned on its side
How is a lever used?
A lever is a simple machine that allows you to gain a mechanical advantage in moving an object or in applying a force to an object
Why do pulleys make lifting easier?
Pulleys are powerful simple machines. They can change the direction of a force, which can make it much easier for us to move something. ... Pulleys can also provide us with a mechanical advantage when we use several together and more rope. This process lessens the amount of force required to lift something
How does inclined plane work?
An inclined plane makes it easier to raise something heavy, like a rock. ... Because work is force multiplied by distance, the amount of work remains mostly the same, In a steep ramp, it will be harder to push the rock/load but you won't need to push it as far.
Is easier to move something with a big wheel or small?
Big wheel
what is a wedge made of?
a piece of wood, metal, or some other material having one thick end and tapering to a thin edge
One example of lever?

Examples of pulley in everyday life?
Examples of inclined plane
Ramps, sloping roads and hills, plows, chisels, hatchets, carpenter's planes, and wedges.
Do wheels reduce friction?
No force is transferred or modified by a rotating wheel. Instead, a rotating wheel can make work easier by reducing the friction between an object and the surface over which it moves.
Is a plow wedge?
