Does using machines reduce the total amount of work required to move an object or make it easier?
Yes. Use simple and compound machines always get things done faster and better.
Is a bicycle a simple machine if it is how is it a simple machine?
Not the whole part of the bike but the pedals are levers a kind of simple machine it uses the levers to apply force to the sprocket sprocket is a wheel and axle ,another simple machine,that uses gears to move the chain.
How does a pulley help us do work?
A single pulley is one of the "simple machines" in physics, and makes work seem easier by redirecting the action required to work along with gravity. For example, you can lift something by by pulling down on a rope.Multiple pulleys make work even easier, but you need to do more of it: running a rope through six pulleys will make the load seem 1/6 as heavy, but you'll have to pull the rope six times as far.A handy guide to the simple machines is here.A pulley helps us work by lifting large load that we could not do by ourselves.
Why were hydraulics invented?
To move heavy objects with little effort.
A stiff rod that rotates around a pivot point?
A stiff rod that rotates around a pivot point is called a lever. It is a type of simple machine that is used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load.
What does simple machines change?
Simple machines such as pulleys, wedges, and levers reduce the amount of energy required to lift or move (heavy) objects.
Why are simple machines used?
they can help you like a pencil helps you write
What simple machines are being used by mechanics?
Wrenches are examples of levers. Screwdrivers are a wheel and axle motion. They often use pulleys to move heavy items.
When did the Greek engineers build machines that move heavy loads?
Never i lic it
When did Greek engineers build machines that move heavy loads?
Never i lic it
What is true of a real machine that enables a person to move a heavy object with little applied force?
I'd go with simple machines. Specifically, probably a pulley (or pulley system).
How were the great stone blocks move into place to create the pyramid?
The current theory is that they used a combination of ramps, levers, wheels and other simple machines.
What kind of machine can you use daily life?
Some kinds of machines you use in daily life are cars, TVs, phones, calculators, microwaves, music devices, etc. Some simple machines you use in daily life are ramps for wheelchairs, and levers to move heavy things (a dolly).
What is a major mechanical limitation of lever systems?
Levers are limited in how far the effort force or resistance can move. Other simple machines can overcome this limitation, such as the wheel and axle.
Do simple machines have no moving parts?
Well some don't move but if the machine is active then most of the parts move but if it is not then none move.
Why do levers have a greater mechanical efficiency than other simple machines do?
You can move a large load using a relatively small effort. http://www.deyes.sefton.sch.uk/technology/AS&Alevel/mechanical_systems.htm
Which other kind of simple machine is a special kind of inclclined plane?
Suppose you nedded to move an object. You might use tools to help you. Machines are tools that use enegry to do work. Simple Machines are machines with a few or no moving parts. Machines make work easier. You probably have used several of the six different kinds of simple machines.Pretend you need to lift a heavy object like a big rock. You could use a lever to help you. A lever is a simple machine machine of a board that is used to move objects. A seesaw or teeter-totter is really a lever. The middle of the seesaw has something under it to hold it up. This is called the fulcrum. The lever moves back and forth on the fulcrum. On a seesaw, each person takes turns lifting the other person.To lift a rock with a lever, you would need a board to be the lever and a fulcrum to hold it up. Another rock can be a fulcrum. The object being lifted is called the load. You move the load by pushing down on the end of the lever.
