A bicycle chain is an example of what simple machine?
pulley
Where are simple gears used?
An example of simple gears is the chain, chain-wheel and free-wheel sprocket as used on a single geared bicycle. More complicated gearing is the modern bicycle's derailleur system of multiply chain-wheels, a cluster of sprockets, a chain, and gear changer mechanism.
Is a bicycle a simple machine if it is how is it a simple machine?
Not the whole part of the bike but the pedals are levers a kind of simple machine it uses the levers to apply force to the sprocket sprocket is a wheel and axle ,another simple machine,that uses gears to move the chain.
What simple machines make up complex machines?
A complex machine is a machine using more than one simple machine for its operation. A bicycle is a complex machine, using a lever for steering (handlebars), wheel and axle, inclined plane (the threads on bolts), and a pulley (chain on sprockets).
What type of simple machine is a chain on a bike?
That isn't a simple machine, it is a complex machine, made up of other simple machines.
What is a machines?
A machine is a tool for doing work with your hands. it is different from a simple machine. A simple machine, such as a lever, a pulley, or an inclined plane, that alters the magnitude or direction, or both, of an applied force; a simple machine. A machine is any device that transmits energy to perform or assist in the performance of human tasks. A machine is basically described as a device with moving parts that uses mechanical energy. Examples of simple machines are pulleys,a stapler,and a bicycle chain.
What is a simple machine that is made with a rope or chain?

In essence it is a pulley in which the chain and the wheel cannot slip with regard to each other.
What type of simple machine is a roped or chain wrapped around a grooved wheel?
A pulley
What does a bicycle have to make it move?
a chain
What other simple machine is like a pulley?
A sprocket is like a pulley, the difference being that a sprocket has gear-like teeth, to transport a chain rather than a belt. A bicycle has two sprockets, one attached to the pedals, and one attached to the rear wheel.
