What is the relationship between the force and distance?

The product of force times the distance the force was directed in, is called "work".The relationship between distance and force is that, when using a simple machine, to move an object it requires less force to move an object a farther distance when using a simple machine than moving an object without a simple machine.The relationship between distance and force is that, when using a simple machine, to move an object it requires less force to move an object a farther distance when using a simple machine than moving an object without a simple machine.Addition: "Using a Force (y-axis) over Distance (x-axis), the Work done can be estimated by calculating the area under the graphed line." -Arian.


What is a simple machine that changes the direction of force needed to move an object but not the amount of force needed?

A pulley is a simple machine that changes the direction of the force needed to move an object without changing the amount of force required. By using a pulley, you can apply a downward force to lift an object upwards.


What is the weight of an object being moved by a machine?

A simple machine is mechanical device that is non-powered. It changes the direction of a force. Some examples of a simple machine include a wheel and axle, a wedge, and a pulley.


What is The force you apply when using a simple machine?

frights


When you pry something you are using what simple machine?

A lever


What is the force applied when using a simple machine?

Is a weighing scale a simple machine?

No, it is level to the ground, hence not an inclined plane. And mainly, it provides no mechanical advantage. To use Wikipedia's definition of a simple machine, a balance beam does not "chang[e] the direction or magnitude of a force" and is therefore not a simple machine.


What type of simple machine are you using when you are hitting a nail?

a hammer


What type of simple machine are you using when you twist a doorknob?

You are using a wheel and axle simple machine when you twist a doorknob. The wheel (the doorknob) rotates on the axle (the spindle), allowing you to easily open or close the door.


What is the results of how does a simple machine work?

my results are that simple machines work by using force and some work.


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).


The work that the simple machine does is called the work?

the work a machine does is the work output what it takes to do the work is the work input
