Is input force easier when a fulcrum is closer or farther away from the object?

Well if you mean which point would require the least amount of force then it would be when the fulcrum is at the farthest possible point because the radius would be longer causing the force to be smaller for the same amount of torque.
Torque = Force x Radius
Same Decrease Increase

Using a wheelbarrow can make it easier to lift a heavy object by?
Yes it does make it easier by using a fulcrum Yes it does make it easier by using a fulcrum
Does the size of an object appear to change as the observer moves closer to or farther away from the object?
Yes, the closer you get the bigger the object will appear but to only the size of the object really is, and the farther away you get the small it will get
True or false The fulcrum is closer to the force when a force multiplier lever is used?
False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.
What is the advantage on the position of fulcrum?
The fulcrum is a point where something pivots around, so the position of the fulcrum is where ever the object is pivoting around.
Why is it easier to open a door by holding it from its edge?
Centrifugal force causes an object to be more easily modified, the farther is gets from the center of gravity, or the core. The closer you get, the weaker the centrifugal force.

Do sound waves move closer or farther away from a vibrating object?
farther away

Would an object have a greater gravitational pull closer or farther from earth?
An object have greater gravitational pull closer from earth. As we get farther from earth, the gravitational pull becomes weaker. That is why objects sufficiently away from the earth do not fall on it.
Do weights have to be equidistant from the fulcrum to make it even?
If you have two objects of equal weight on either end of a lever, then they must be equidistant from the fulcrum to make the lever balance.If one object weighs more than the other, then that one has to be closer to the fulcrum.
On a lever how can you reduce the amount of effort needed to lift a heavy object?
by adding more weight to the other side
Explain how focussing occurs in a microscope?
To focus the image, you have to move the object you are studying closer to or farther from the objective lens.
Where do you place the fulcrum to get the most lifting power from a simple lever?
A lever's mechanical advantage is the ratio of the effort arm to the load arm. The shorter the load arm, the greater the lifting power, so the closer the fulcrum is to the object being lifted, the better.
The object that moves around a fulcrum?
The Forearm
