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 kind of simple machine is nutcracker?

A nutcracker is a lever, which is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar rotating around a fixed point called a fulcrum. When you squeeze the handles of a nutcracker, the force applied is transferred to the nut at the other end, allowing you to crack it open.

Is a bolt a type of screw?

Both screws and bolts use threads to create a spiral wedge, a simple machine. Screws have pointed ends designed to dig into materials and hold them together. A bolt requires a nut at the other end and pulls the two together to connect them.
