A simple machine is a machine which does not use a motor and does not consist of more than one simple machine. There are six types of simple machines. Wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, lever, screw, and wedge. A complex machine uses a motor, and a compound is made up of one or more simple machines.

A simple machine that helps a boat slice through water is the hull of the boat. The shape of the hull reduces drag by allowing water to flow smoothly around it, making it easier for the boat to move forward with less resistance.
