What does a simple machine apply to the object to make it move?

Changes the amount of work done by the person and machine.
Machines NEVER change the amount of work done
What a machine changes is the FORCE required to perform the work, usually by increasing the displacement over which the work is being done. Work equals Force times Distance (W=Fd). Since work doesn't change (remains constant), then displacment must be increased in order to decrease the force (you can see from the work equation that force and displacement are inversely proportional).
If you want to lift a 10kg object a height of 1 meter, you will do the same amount of work lifting it straight up with your knees as you would do by using a simple machine such as a ramp. The machine will help you lift the object, but you will at the very least do the same amount of work. See how using a ramp increases the distance the 10kg mass travels to reach the height of 1 meter? Increasing the displacement decreases the required force.
An ideal machine will allow you to do the same amount of work. A non-ideal machine will increase the amount of work you do.

∙ 13y agoThey change the amount of force needed to do work
they can also change the amount of speed to do work also!!!!

What is the difference between a simple machine and a complex machine?
A simple machine is what it says, it's a very simple machine, made up of only one simple machine, such as a screw or a lever. A complex machine is more than one simple machine working together, instead of working alone.Simple machines are:ScrewInclined PlaneLevers (three different classes)PulleysWheel and AxelWedgeExamples of compound machines:DrillScissorsA simple machine has 1 part, while the complex machine is made up of many different parts.SIMPLE MACHINE : I machine that is simple and small most of the time .COMPLEX MACHINE : a machine that's complex .a simple machine makes the amount of force and effort you use in work easier.a compound machine is a numerous amount of simple machines put together to make work easier.a simple machine is one of the basic machines: wedge, lever, inclined plane, pulley, or a screw. a complex machine is any two or more of these used in collaboration.Complex machines are simply a series of simple machines working to achieve a single goal.
How can you make the object speed up or slow down?
Making an object speed up or slow down always requires a force.-- To make the object speed up, apply a force to it in the same directionthat it's moving.-- To make it slow down, apply a force to it in the opposite direction.
To do work how must a force make an object move?
You apply a force to an object. The object must move in the same way as the applied force
What is the difference between a complex machine and a compound machine?
a simple machine is used to make work easier. and a compound machine is two or more types of simple machines together. -Allie<3

How can we can make ths object move?
Apply an external force.
How many simple machines are needed to make a compound machine?
6 simple machines.
Is a wheel and axle a compound machine?
No. Gears are a type of simple machine. Combined with another simple machine, it would then make a compound machine.
How does an inclined plane make work easiar?
The inclined plane lessens the amount of force you need to lift an object like the other simple machine, the pulley but moves the object in a slant motion instead of the up and down motion of the pulley,
Why use a simple machine?
Simple machines are much easier to make than complex machines.
