All simple machines are variations of which two basic machines?
as you'll see the pulley and wheel and axle are modified forms of the lever, and the screw and wedge are modified forms of the incline plane.
Will future thinking machines force us to redefine living?
yes because humans are becoming more and more lazy
Explain efficiency and how to calculate it for different simple machines?
Efficiency means to calculate that is the machine is efficient enough to save your bill or use less electricity. To calculate the formula is:
Efficiency = Energy output (what is the machine producing) divided by Energy input (what is the machine taking or using).
What are the characteristics of simple machines?
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SIMPLE MACHINE:
1.wheel and axle
2.lever
3.pulley
4.screw
5.wedge
6.indined plane
Why are wheelbarrows compound machines?
Anything with more than one simple machine in it is a compound machine. Since Wheelbarrows have both wheel-and-axle(one simple machine) and levers(Another simple machine), the wheelbarrow becomes a compound machine.
What simple machines make up a bulldozer?
the bulldozer works on many mechanisms and governors.
the mechanisms used is the slider crank mechanism and crank-crank mechanism
it uses hartung governor
Parts of flat iron and its functions?
Parts of a flat iron include the heating elements, which are internal, and the straightening plates, which actually straighten the hair. Another part is the clamp and body, the external parts.
wedge
15!/(11!)*4! (15*14*13*12*)/(4*3*2*1)=1365
What simple machines are used in gymnastics equipment?
a simple incline is used in gymnastics- a "cheese wedge" i think a spring board qualifies as well
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.
What kind of simple machine is a sword?
Sword is categorize as wedge. A wedge is an object with at least one slanting side ending in a sharp edge, which cuts material apart.
A wedge is a type of inclined plane.
Using machines to operate other machines is called?
I think its called operating i am not sure but type this question you asked into google.com and it will probably pop up. I hope I helped answer your question throughly.
levers screws and wheel and axle are the only ones I know
