What is a wheel and axle used for?
The wheel and axle are primarily used for moving items and for transportation. It vastly reduces the friction between objects by converting it to a rotational motion. Common non-vehicular axles are seen in roller conveyors (with or without covering belts). A door knob is the reverse version of a wheel and axle. It translates a small force on the turning wheel to operate the axle (cylinder), which turns the door spindle (bolt).
What kind of simple machine is a wheel barrow?
A wheelbarrow is not a simple machine; it is a complex machine. There are two simple machines used in it. One is a lever, and the other is the wheel and axle.A leverA 3rd class lever and a wheel.lever and wheel-and-axle
What is one example of a wheel and axle used everyday?
A can opener.
What is the difference between a regular machine and a simple machine?
The kinds of simple machine are: Lever, Inclined Plane, Wheel and Axle, Screw, Wedge, Pulley. Lever is a rigid bar that turns or pivots on a fired point called fulcrum. It is used to push, pull or lift objects using less force. Inclined Plane is a ramp or scope that reduces the force you need to exert in lifting something. Wheel and Axle is a device in which a small wheel is attached at the center of a larger wheel. Screw is a inclined plane wound around a post. Wedge is used to cut, split or divide objects.It is made up of 2 inclined planes put back to back to form a sharp edge. Pulley is used to raise and to lower objects.It is a grooved wheel that turns on an axle and acts as lever, a simple machine which consist of small wheel with groove on a rope.
Why is a pulley important?
A pulley, is a mechanism composed of a wheel on an axle that may have a groove between two flanges around its circumference. A rope, cable, belt, or chain usually runs over the wheel and inside the groove, if present. Pulleys are important and useful because its used to change the direction of an applied force, transmit rotational motion, or realize a mechanical advantage.
How can a wheel and axle be used to gain force?

NO
How can a wheel and axle used to gain force?
NO
How does a wheel and axle change its force?
A wheel requires a smaller amount of force to be moved than an axle. Combined, a minimal amount of force is used to move the wheel and in turn is transferred from the wheel to the attached axle, to move the axle. Alone the axle would require a greater amount of force for it to be turned.
What is the difinition of wheel and axle?
The wheel and axle is one of six simple machines developed in ancient times and is in the category of a second- or third-class lever. In its simplest form it consists of a rod attached to a wheel so that their movements are coupled when one of the parts is turned. The wheel and axle is used either as a force multiplier (such as a doorknob, steering wheel or fishing reel) or as a distance multiplier (such as on a bicycle or the driven wheels of a car). In the first kind of application, the larger wheel is used to create more torque (in the axle) with less force.

Why will decreasing the radius of the axle improve the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?
it's a mechanical advantage of 1 (meaning no mechanical advantage). This is because no matter how much easier it is to spin a the wheel rather than the axle, its a longer distance of effort force and vice versa. * * * * * True, but that is not what mechanical advantage is! Mechanical advantage IS the trade off between the force required and the distance travelled. You can find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. * * * * * Better. But I think it could be either of the two reciprocal ratios of the radii, depending on whether the wheel/axle is being used in a 2nd class or 3rd class lever configuration ... i.e., are you cranking the wheel in order to turn the axle, as in a winch, or spinning the axle in order to turn the wheel, as in a motor-vehicle ?
Which factor of both the wheel and the axle can be used to calculate their mechancical advantage?
the radius of the axle and the radius of the wheel
What are the kind of wheel and axle?
wheel is a type of circle which is used in vehicles etc. and axle in science means which is related to wheel. like friction is needed so that wheels could turn about the axle.

What compound machine is used to make a wheel barrow?
Wheel and Axle and a Lever.
