When you eat and gain energy this is 

Chemical energy

300

How do simple machines make work easier?

by decreasing or redirecting the force needed to complete the task

300

Heat and Light

400

What is rod attached to the the center of the wheel 

an axle

400

Energy that contains radiant energy you can see and can travel through space 

Light energy

400

A heavy object could be rolled up this simple machine, instead of lifting it straight up.  Using this simple machine can save effort, although the object must usually cover more distance if this simple machine is used.

Inclined Plane
