What type of lever does not increase force but does increase the speed or distance a load travels?

Class-I lever . . . may or may not do that, depending on how it's set up.
Class-II lever . . . never does that.
Class-III lever . . . always does that.

Does a simple machine increase the force at the expense of distance?
YES. The long end of a Lever travels much further with light force, than the short end with more force.
What kind of mechanism is used to increase force?
A lever or a form of it such as a gear, screw, inclined plane, or pulley can be used to increase force at the expense of distance traveled and/or elapsed time.
True or false The fulcrum is closer to the force when a force multiplier lever is used?
False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.
How a lever can increase the force applied without changing the amount of work being done?
Levers are used in everyday life. The force is a lot to do with pivots and moments e.g. a wheelbarrow- the effort force pushes down on the handle (lever) the load is pulled down by gravity and the pivot is the front wheel. So a lever changes force by the chemical energy in your muscles aiding or fighting gravity. Hope this helps x
How do you reduce the force of a lever?
The force a lever can apply to a given point greatly depends on two distances:The distance from the pivot point to the object to be lifted and the distance from the pivot point to the point on the lever where force will be applied.To reduce the distance from the pivot-point to the point where Force is applied is to reduce the "force" of a lever.

How can a lever increase the force applied without changing the amount of work being done?
Work is force times distance. A lever will increase force, at the cost of distance, or it will increase distance, at the cost of force. Each of these is inversely proportional, so the net force times distance is the same. Said in other words, a lever cannot add to or subtract from work - work is the same in all cases.

Can a lever multiply distance?
A lever is a simple machine that allows mechanical force to be exerted using a varying distance. Typically, the lever allows the use of a smaller force across a greater distance in the place of a larger force over a smaller distance.
What is a lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one used to do?
Mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is used to increase distance.
Is the arm lever a distance multiplier or a force multiplier?
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
How can you increase the mechanical advantage of a lever?
Distance decreases by the wheel barrow lever force must be increased.above doesn't make a lick of sense does it, move the fulcrum towards the load arm.
What a lever does?
A lever is a simple machine that uses variable distance to multiply force, or to redirect existing forces. With a lever, the force exerted by gravity on a weight can be used to lift another weight. By varying the distance between a lever's ends and its fulcrum, a heavy object can be lifted a short distance by a smaller force moving a longer distance.
