Can a simple machine put out more energy than is put into it?
NO. No system can put out more Energy than is put into it. That would violate the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. However, a simple machine, like a lever can put out more Force than is put in.
What simple machine is a screwdriver an example of?
When the handle radius is larger than the blade radius, its a lever
What is the difference between a simple machine and a complex machine?
A simple machine is what it says, it's a very simple machine, made up of only one simple machine, such as a screw or a lever. A complex machine is more than one simple machine working together, instead of working alone.Simple machines are:ScrewInclined PlaneLevers (three different classes)PulleysWheel and AxelWedgeExamples of compound machines:DrillScissorsA simple machine has 1 part, while the complex machine is made up of many different parts.SIMPLE MACHINE : I machine that is simple and small most of the time .COMPLEX MACHINE : a machine that's complex .a simple machine makes the amount of force and effort you use in work easier.a compound machine is a numerous amount of simple machines put together to make work easier.a simple machine is one of the basic machines: wedge, lever, inclined plane, pulley, or a screw. a complex machine is any two or more of these used in collaboration.Complex machines are simply a series of simple machines working to achieve a single goal.
Does a simple machine increase the force at the expense of distance?
YES. The long end of a Lever travels much further with light force, than the short end with more force.
Why is a YO YO considered a simple machine?
A simple machine has only one of the following. 1. Lever 2. Wheel and axle 3. Pulley 4. Inclined Plane 5. Wedge 6. Screw A yo-yo is an example of a wheel and axle. A compound machine uses more than one of the above.
Is a lever more complicated than just a simple machine?
No a lever is a simple machine so it's not complicated.
Is a hammer a compound machine or a simple machine?
It is a compound machine because it is built with more than one simple machine
Why bike is a compound machine?
A bike is a simple machine, because it has a wheel and axle.
Can a simple machine put out more energy than is put into it?
NO. No system can put out more Energy than is put into it. That would violate the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. However, a simple machine, like a lever can put out more Force than is put in.

A scientific explanation for a simple machine?
A simple machine is a machine which does not use a motor and does not consist of more than one simple machine. There are six types of simple machines. Wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, lever, screw, and wedge. A complex machine uses a motor, and a compound is made up of one or more simple machines.
Why is a pair of scissors a compound machine?
Scissors a compound machine because it's more than one simple machine.the handle is a lever and the blade is a wedge.
What simple machine is a screwdriver an example of?
When the handle radius is larger than the blade radius, its a lever
What simple machines make up complex machines?
A complex machine is a machine using more than one simple machine for its operation. A bicycle is a complex machine, using a lever for steering (handlebars), wheel and axle, inclined plane (the threads on bolts), and a pulley (chain on sprockets).
A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is used to do what?
A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is used to increase distance. A lever is a simple machine connected to ground by a hinge called a fulcrum.
Is it true a simple machine is one that always gives a mechanical advantage of 2?
No. A simple machine such as a lever could quite easily give a mechanical advantage of 10, 100 or more, or could even be less than 1.
Is a stapler a simple machine?
No. A stapler is considered a compound machine since it is made up of more than one simple machines - the lever and the wedge. Some internet sources include the inclined plane and wheel and axle.
