Simple machines come to mind.
Let us say a pulley is suspended on a secure structure. One end of the rope is tied to a heavy object. The rope makes a few round on the pulley. The other end of the rope comes out and can be held with relative ease to keep the heavy object afloat or lift it up. The human effort would be 'n' times less than the weight of the object, where 'n' is the number of times the rope winds around the pulley.
A lever is another example. The beam is resting on a fulcrum. One downward force (F1) is acting L1 meters from the fulcrum. The balancing downward force (F2) will be L2 meters from the fulcrum on the other side. The principle of moments says that F1 * L1 = F2 * L2. With a rigid beam (the beam does not break with the forces). If L1 = 2 * L2, then F1 = 0.5 * F2.

Is a seesaw a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
force multiplier
Is the arm lever a distance multiplier or a force multiplier?
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
Is a screw driver a force multiplier?
Force multiplier. It an inclined plane so a smaller force is acting over a greater distance
Can you give an example of a machine that increases speed?
You need a velocity multiplier. A common example is a bicycle wheel.
Is can opener a force multiplier's Why?
Yeah; you turn a bigger wheel to drive a small one, so when you turn the big wheel you use your force over a longer distance, which causes the small wheel to have more power over a smaller distance
Is a bottle opener a speed or force multiplier?

Is the arm lever a distance multiplier or a force multiplier?
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
Is a wheelbarrow a force multiplier?
Yes, a wheelbarrow is considered a force multiplier because it allows a single person to move a heavier load with less effort by leveraging the principles of leverage and simple machines to increase the force applied.
Is gear a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
Gear is a force multiplier because it allows a person to apply greater force to accomplish a task. It does not directly increase speed but increases the efficiency of force application.
When does a wheel and axle a force multiply?
what is force multiplier
Is a golf club a speed or a force multiplier?
AnswerA golf club is a speed multiplier
How is a bicycle a force multiplier?
yes
Are stairs force multipliers or speed multipliers?
Speed
What is the difference between a force multiplier and a speed multiplier?
A force multiplier increases the effectiveness of a force, such as equipment or technology, to achieve a greater impact with the same amount of effort. A speed multiplier, on the other hand, increases the speed or velocity of an object or process, allowing it to move faster or complete a task more quickly.
How did the pulley affect the amount of force needed?
A pulley reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object by distributing the load over multiple ropes and wheels. It allows you to lift heavier objects with less effort by changing the direction of the force required to lift the load.
