Is a trebuchet a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?
I'm unsure as to what exactly a distance magnifier is so hopefully someone with expertise in trebuchets can add to this. However I am confident that a trebuchet works on the principle of a lever. A lever is a force magnifier. Yet a trebuchet also uses a sling to launch the projectile in a parabolic arc which has the effect of increasing the distance, so perhaps it qualifies as both? A lever is most often used as a force multiplier, where the load moves through a smaller distance than the applied force, but in the case of a trebuchet the lever is used in the opposite sense. The load moves through a greater distance than the applied force and so the trebuchet is a distance multiplier.
What are the parts of seesaw?
fulcrum force and load
Is a wheelbarrow a force multiplier?
a froce magnifier
Why are levers useful?
A lever is a simple machine that changes the distance the force is applied over. It is helpful by since the force is applied over distance you can lift things. One example of this machine is a seesaw and a boat paddle. If we did not have this machine on a seesaw we would stay balance. Levers are devices that increase the force you use them with. Each lever has three main parts: the fulcrum, resistance arm, and effort arm.
What is the physics of a seesaw?
A seesaw in physics is a Class 1 Lever. One rider can be called the force, the other rider is then the load, and the fulcrum is between the two.
Is a crowbar a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?
Force magnifier... It's basically a lever which pivots around the sharp bend in the metal. This amplifies the force applied to the long arm.

What is a distance magnifier?
it make you go slower than you were going before like if you were on a bike if you pedal it make you go fast which is called distance double and if you dont pedal you it is called a distance magnifier.
Is a seesaw a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
force multiplier
What are the parts of seesaw?
fulcrum force and load

Name two simple machine in case in which you multiply force?
crowbar &seesaw
What type of lever is seesaw?
first class lever. Why? because it is in the order of output force-fulcrum-input force. output force ______________________________ input force fulcrum
What is the formula for balance on seesaw?
d1 times w1 = d2 times w2 (d- distance of the person from seesaw)/ (w = weight of person)
How do you balance a seesaw?
Simple ..put equal weight at each end, equal distance from the pivot.
