What are the formulas for simple machines?
the formulas for simple machines help find the ama, ima, and the efficency
How are simple machines used in space?
Astronauts exercise on stationed pedal type bikes for Skylab Programs. The inclined plane acts as a wedge to separate two surfaces held together by adhesive tapes or by pressure. The pulley is used for its mechanical function in the event of a malfunctioning solar panel.
What simple machine is a monkey wrench?
A wrench is a wheel because when put over a bolt it spins like a wheel. The bolt would be the axle.
A wrench is a wheel and axle simple machine.
What is the function of a wheel and axle?
The wheel and axle is a simple machine. It is consists of a wheel that turns an axle and in turn a rope converts the rotational motion to linear motion for the purpose of lifting.
Simple machines made up of two inclined plane?
Double wedges for lifting, spreading (prying) or jambing.
The work ouput of the second machine will usually be more than the work input of the first machine.
What did the early machines run on?
Early machines would run on energy sources available at the time, namely manual labour, animal labour, water power and wind power. There is evidence of steam power dating back 2000 years but this was ineffective/inefficient. It wasn't until improvements in the 18th century that steam power really took off.
A combination of simple machines is what kind of machine?
a compound machine is a combination of simple machines
What are some simple machines projects for a science fair for grade 7?

What uses wheels to make work easier?
Carts and barrows were probably the first things. Pretty much anything that has wheels is using them to reduce friction and make work easier.
What does Make things as simple as possible but not simpler mean?
It refers to a certain type of analyzing skill. If you can see what actually "is" without projecting your imagination and can work with what you find then you are using this skill.
"Keep it simple.."
Means find a viewpoint that is accurate and simple but also true
"...but not any simpler."
Means don't analyze too much or imagine you see something simpler when there isn't anything.
In general you can assume that the simpler answer is always better.
Example is
English grammar teacher can teach students in constructing proper sentences.
If a student is unable to comprehend it. Teacher can move a level below making it simple in teaching that student on arrangements of words in sentences.
But if the teacher is teaching student on putting letters together and making words, or on assembling lines, curves and dots to construct a letter then this is making things simpler. which results in downgrade of benchmark that is assumed for that students competency.
What are the three parts of the lever?
its the fulcrum, resistance, and effort
The three parts of a lever, fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm, work together to make it possible to lift a weight using less force. ...
