Every compound machine is made up of multiple simple machines, such as a pair of scissors, which has two levers and two wedges.

Is a machine a device that changes force?

A simple machine is a type of machine that changes forces in some way, by amplifying them, and/or changing their direction. The lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle are all simple machines. But there are complex machines as well, which do far more things. Our computers are also machines.


Which simple machine multiply the distance?

A lever is a simple machine that can multiply the distance you apply force over. By adjusting the placement of the fulcrum, you can increase the distance the load moves relative to the distance you push or pull on it.


Which is true of all simple machines?

All simple machines change the direction or magnitude of a force to make work easier. They operate on a basic mechanical principle and do not have moving parts. Simple machines can be combined to create more complex machines.


A simple machine requires this in order to operate?

The mechanical advantage of a compound machine is the multiple of the separate mechanical advantages of each simple machine. The efficiency of the compound machine is also the multiple of the separate efficiencies of each simple machine. So the work in to the first machine multiplied by all of the simple machine efficiencies gives you the work out of the last machine


How is a crowbar a simple machine?

A simple machine is a device that takes a single applied force to change the magnitude or direction of a single load force. Simple machines are the building blocks of all more complicated machines. There are six simple machines: lever, wheel and axle, pulley, screw,wedge, and inclined plane. See the related link for descriptions and examples of each of these machines. A crowbar is an example of a lever.
