What is the difference between a rollerball pen and a ballpoint pen?
Roller ball pens use a ball point like ballpoint pens, but use water-based or gelled ink, while ballpoint pens use oil-based inks.In comparison to ballpoint pens, this gives roller ball pens advantages such as:Less pressure needs to be applied to the pen to have it write cleanly.The inks usually have a greater range of colors.They tend to write finer lines.However, roller ball pens are more likely to smudge and "bleed" through paper.
How is a ballpoint pen a simple machine?
The ball is a roller bearing. It reduces the friction as the pen point is slid across the paper. Quill pens use a rounded nib, but the ink distribution can be uneven.
Why cant you use pencil in zero gravity?
I think you mean a pen. A pen isn't able to be used in zero gravity because the ink needs to move to the ballpoint where the ink exits. Thus, pens need the ink to flow to the tip of the pen so it comes out the ball roller, which without gravity won't work as well.
Why did the ball point pen replace the fountain pen?
Many reasons: Ball-point pens are simply more convenient. They don't leak and the ink lasts for much longer. Ink replacement is almost unnecessary because buying a replacement ballpoint pen is so cheap. Ballpoint pens can be kept almost anywhere without fear that ink will leak or dry out. Fountain pens, on the other hand, must be constantly cleaned out and refilled. Ballpoint pens are much cheaper to produce. They can be made almost entirely of plastic, unlike fountain pens. Ballpoint pens are also easier to mass-produce without having to craft nibs separately. While fountain pens are used for fancy writing and have overall better ink quality, they take much longer to dry. This causes them to smear easily and sometimes run down the paper, easily ruining the work. One last but less obvious reason is that since fountain pens are designed to be pulled and not pushed across the paper, a left-handed person cannot use one without wearing down the nib faster and likely tearing the paper. That's because a left-handed person rights from left-to-right, pushing the pen across the paper as he writes. The current selections of left-handed fountain pens are quite limited and uncommon to see. As you can see, a ballpoint pen has none of the problems that a fountain pen has, sacrificing a little fanciness and legibility. Most people these days don't mind at all. After all, they're so abundant that you can keep them everywhere.
What is a shock pen?

Does ink pen smudge or ballpoint pen smudge?
It depends on the type of pen or ballpoint pen you use. If you are outlining a drawing, you should wait for the pen lines to dry before erasing away the pencil lines.
Who would use the ballpoint pen?
Typical users of the ballpoint pen tend to be male or female. The male or female ballpoint users tend to use "hands", usually the right. Although there are widely publicised cases of left handed ballpoint users. Or 'lefties'. The average ballpoint pen user will also be "cheap" due to their lack of funds that has obstructed them from obtaining a more classy means of communication, such as the fountain pen. Animals are not great fans of the ballpoint pen due to their lack of ability to write. I hope this helps

How did the ballpoint pen come to be?
1. Lazlo biro was the first person to invent the ball point pen in 1888 2. Lewis Waterson was the 2nd person to invent the pen(fountain pen) 3. John Loud was the third/last person to invent the ballpoint pen 4. People have been using ballpoint pens for just about 300 years! 5. We use ball point pens because they are easier to write with and the tip doesn't snap like a pencil would, pencils just break if you push the tip of the led down 6. We use pens just about everyday

Is the pen a simple machine?
No. The classic simple machines are: Lever Wheel and axle Pulley Inclined plane Wedge Screw Using the pen has no mechanical advantage, other than in a ballpoint pen where the roller bearing reduces friction, but is primarily intended to produce an even ink application.
