Scissors are a simple machine. A simple machine makes work easier to do. (not hard work) What type of simple machine are they? They are a lever. Levers have fulcrums or pivot points. The pivot point of the scissors are the crossing section.
yes
A fulcrum is a part of a simple machine, the lever. Without the fulcrum what is left of the simple machine can no longer increase the applied force and is no longer a simple machine.
Scissors are mainly made of stainless steal for the blades and plastic for the handles
Tin snips are similar to scissors - they are a combination of two wedges (the blades) and two levers (each blade and the handle it connects to) joined at a fulcrum (the hinge.)There are many types of simple machines. Tin snips would be a first class lever, as the fulcrum(pivot) is in the middle.
The scissors as a whole would be a lever, but the blades in particular are wedges - an inclined plane if you will.The scissors' blades are sharpened into wedges, and the arms that are squeezed together are levers.

Its a simple machine which can crush any complex machine
yes
Scissors
lever and a wedge
A fulcrum is a part of a simple machine, the lever. Without the fulcrum what is left of the simple machine can no longer increase the applied force and is no longer a simple machine.
Scissors a compound machine because it's more than one simple machine.the handle is a lever and the blade is a wedge.
Scissors are known as a compound machine because they contain two or more simple machines put together. Another example of a compound machine is a bicycle.
A paper cutter is a second class lever. The resistance is positioned between the effort and the fulcrum. Second class levers always increase the force applied to them, but do not change the direction of the force.
Scissors have two sharp blades and when you put paper in between the blades and press down, the blades cut the thin piece of paper.
A pair of scissors is a simple machine. As it may have keen cutting edges and sharp pointed ends, it is best to keep the scissors out of the reach of children.
