A simple machine is a non-powered mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. A simple machine uses a single applied force to do work against a single load force and can be a lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, or screw.

What type of simple machine uses grooved wheels and a rope to raise or move things?

Asked by Wiki User

A pulley. The wheels aren't necessarily grooved; you just need a way to prevent to rope from slipping off the wheel.

Is a hair brush a simple machine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Lever:

The handle of a hairbrush acts as a lever. When you hold the handle and press the bristles against your hair, you're using the lever principle to exert force and detangle or style your hair.

Wheel and Axle:

The base of the hairbrush, where the bristles are attached, can be thought of as a wheel and axle. When you move the brush through

Who invented the 6 simple machines?

1. The Pulley- Probably the earliest lifting pulleys used a rope over tree branch to lift heavy objects. Although pulleys were in use around the time the pyramids were built there is no record of them being used in their construction.

The first pulley systems built for lifting would have been made of tree trunks or branches with the rope over the horizontal part of the system. The use of wheels was the next step in the history of lifting pulleys

As people needed to transport goods over longer distances they discovered sails that used the power of the wind. To be able to use the wind power the sailors had to be able to raise and lower the sails. Pulleys were ideal for this task.

About 1100 AD the building of large churches called cathedrals became popular. These buildings were very large and some were around 150 meters high. Huge blocks of stone had to be lifted to build the walls and spires. The cathedral builders were the same people who designed and built the pulley systems to lift the blocks of stone.

2.The lever- Levers are one of the basic tools; they were probably used in prehistoric times. Levers were first described about 260 BC by the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes (287-212 BC). Many of our basic tools use levers, including scissors, pliers, hammer claws, nutcrackers, and tongs.

3.The Wedge- History is not clear since it has been around for around 9,000 years. Almost all known ancient civilations had their version of the wedge.

4.The Wheel and Axle- The wheel is probably the single most important invention of all time. The oldest wheel was found in a place that is now called Mesopotamia. It is believed to be over fifty-five hundred years old. Before that time, people did not have wheels to move heavy objects. Axles were used to unite two or more wheels in order to achieve more work or transportation done.

5.The Inclined Plane- The inclined plane is one of the simple machines of antiquity, the physical operations of which were first theorized by Archimedes in the second century B.C., and then further explained by Hero of Alexandria in the first century A.D.

6.The Screw- Around the first century, screw shaped tools became common, however, historians do not know who invented the first. Early screws were made from wood and were used in wine presses, olive oil presses, and for pressing clothes. Metal screws and nuts used to fasten two objects together first appeared in the fifteenth century.

Computers don't have many moving parts.

A simple machine is defined as a mechanical device that changes the direction of force. Simple machines inside a computer would be the gears that enable an electric motor to rotate the hard drive and the gears that open and close the disc tray.

Technically, no animal is a simple machine. Simple machines are the basic elements which comprise all other machines. Though some people compare animals to machines and comparisons between anatomy and simple machines might be possible, they are far from obvious.

What is made of two or more simple machines?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

What is made up of two or more simple machines?

There are only six different types of simple machines. The six simple machines are as follows: a pulley, a wheel and axle, An inclined plane, a lever, a wedge, and screw.

One of them is a pulley. A pulley is a wheel with a groove along its edge, for holding a rope or cable. It helps change the direction and point of application of a pulling force. Pulleys are usually used in sets designed to reduce the amount of force needed to lift a load. The magnitude of the force is reduced, but it must act through a longer distance. Consequently, the amount of work necessary for the load to reach a particular height is the same as the amount of work needed without the pulleys.

Well you know what I don't have the time to explain all of them to you so go somewheres else and look them up OK, OK goodbye. See you later. Peace out.
