Not sure if I understand your question completely, but, the complex one could be answered by a lap-top P.C. Now, on the subject of simple machines. At school, a very long time ago, we were taught, in Physics, that the definition of 'a machine' is 'a device which carries out work more quickly or more easily'. Using that definition, two machines would be, firstly, a roller for moving heavy loads, and a hill, for raising loads. As a bonus, a lock, such as found on a canal, would do as a third example.

In an easier way you could say: A ship,wheel and axle as the steering wheels and the ores as a lever.

What is the difference between a complex machine and a compound machine?

A complex machine is a single machine that performs multiple simple tasks, such as a car engine. A compound machine is a combination of two or more simple machines working together, such as a bicycle which combines a wheel and axle, lever, and pulley. In summary, a complex machine is one machine with multiple functions, while a compound machine is multiple simple machines working together to achieve a task.


What is the difference between a simple machine and a complex machine?

A simple machine is what it says, it's a very simple machine, made up of only one simple machine, such as a screw or a lever. A complex machine is more than one simple machine working together, instead of working alone.Simple machines are:ScrewInclined PlaneLevers (three different classes)PulleysWheel and AxelWedgeExamples of compound machines:DrillScissorsA simple machine has 1 part, while the complex machine is made up of many different parts.SIMPLE MACHINE : I machine that is simple and small most of the time .COMPLEX MACHINE : a machine that's complex .a simple machine makes the amount of force and effort you use in work easier.a compound machine is a numerous amount of simple machines put together to make work easier.a simple machine is one of the basic machines: wedge, lever, inclined plane, pulley, or a screw. a complex machine is any two or more of these used in collaboration.Complex machines are simply a series of simple machines working to achieve a single goal.


Is a geometric compass a simple or complex machine?

A geometric compass is considered a simple machine because it only has one main moving part that enables it to perform its function of drawing circles and arcs.


A machine that uses only one movement is a?

A simple machine.


Is a washing machine a simple machine?

A simple machine is a closed mechanical system that changes the direction and/or the magnitude of a force using only the work and energy supplied by the operator. A lever is an example of a simple machine, and so is a pulley. . A clothes line - the kind that has a loop of cable bound by one pulley at each end - is a simple machine. As you pull one side of the loop toward you, the other side of the loop moves away from you, thanks to the action of the pulleys. Since you are doing all the work (there is no motor or other source of energy), this reversal of direction qualifies as a simple machine.

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).


A scientific explanation for a simple machine?

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.


What are six types of complex machines?

A complex, or compund machine is anything that uses more than one simple machine at the same time. Which means that there's no limit to how many complex Machines there are.


Are cars simple machines?

Cars are complex/compund Machines, consisting of (way) more than one simple machine.


What is a complex machine?

A complex machine, also known as a compound machine, is a machine that is a combination of several simple machines.A simple machine is defined as a machine that makes work easier by modifying or transmitting force or motion.A simple machine would be a wheel and axle or a wedge and jackscrew.A complex machine would be a car or a drill.Machine - is a device that helps us do work (work is a force that acts on an object to make the object move. To get work, you multiply force by distance)A simple machine - is a tool or device made up of one basic machine (there are 6 simple machines screw, ramp/inclined plane, wedge, pulley, wheel and axele, and levers.)ex. of simple machines are: (screw - screw, hose nozzle, etc.) (inclined plane - slide, ramp etc. ) (wedge -chisel, knife, etc.) (pulley - crane, flagpole, etc.) (wheel and axle - door knob, steering wheel, bicycle wheel, etc.) (Lever - 1st class lever: see -saw, 2nd class leer: wheelbarrow, 3rd class Lever: hockey stick, broom, etc.)a Complex Machine - is a system in which simple machines all work together, parts of a complex machine that have just one function are called subsystems and often contain a simple machine.ex. of complex machines can be as simple as scissors, or as complicated as a lab topA complex machine is really 2 or more simple machines in one machineex.
