How is a screw same as an inclined plane?

A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around an axis.


What is the simple machine that developed into drill bits?

A screw would fit this description. Although it should be noted that from a geometric standpoint a screw may be considered as an inclined plane (another simple machine) wrapped around a cylinder.


What kind of simple machine is a nut and bolt?

They are types of screws which are actually inclined planes that curve around the outside of a rod and the interior of a cylinder. Instead of anchoring into a surface, a bolt passes through a hole and is locked in place by the nut. At its most basic, it is an inclined plane. That inclined plane formed by the threads of the bolt is wrapped around an axle and the nut provides a mechanical advantage by being a lever (The force arm is the nut's radius). The lever can be extended (a wrench) to provide greater mechanical advantage.


What is a analogy for screw?

An analogy for a screw is a simple machine known as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. Just as an inclined plane helps to raise objects with less force over a longer distance, a screw also converts rotational motion into linear motion to hold objects together or lift them. Both the inclined plane and the screw are examples of mechanical advantage, allowing for easier work by spreading the force over a larger area.


Why might this women be drilling a hole which type of simple machine will she probably isert in the hole when she done drilling?

The woman might be drilling a hole to create a space for a fastener or anchor, such as a screw or a bolt, which will help secure two objects together. Once she finishes drilling, she will likely insert a screw, which is a type of simple machine known as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. This design allows for easier application of force to hold materials together.
