The first simple machine was invented the first time a lever was used when the cave men were using a stick to raise a rock out of the ground.

However, some simple machines were not invented, but appeared naturally, such as the inclined plane. Certainly animals may have used ramps before they could manipulate a stick.

Are dominoes a type of simple machine?

Well, honey, dominoes are about as much of a simple machine as a potato is a rocket ship. They're just little rectangular tiles that fall over when you push them, not exactly a pulley or a lever. So, no, dominoes are not a type of simple machine, they're just good old-fashioned fun.


Is it true a simple machine is one that always gives a mechanical advantage of 2?

Oh, what a lovely question! A simple machine is a device that helps make work easier by either changing the direction or amount of force needed. While some simple machines, like a lever or pulley, can provide a mechanical advantage of 2 or more, not all simple machines will have a fixed mechanical advantage. Each simple machine is unique and can provide different levels of mechanical advantage depending on its design and how it is used. Just like how every brushstroke on a canvas adds to the beauty of a painting, each simple machine plays its own special role in making tasks easier and more efficient.
