How do you check that the documents are current and valid?

Simple machines in a flat iron?
Yes, there is a lever in the flat iron. The fulcrum is where the 2 types of the flat iron come together, and your input force is when you squeeze the 2 parts together to grab your hair.
What is the trade off of effort in using simple machines?
The simple machines - a lever for example - are usually designed so that you need less force. In compensation, you need to move the lever for a greater distance. This follows directly from the law of conservation of energy.
What type of lever are knives?
The knife is a third class lever. The pressure is applied to the other end of the handle nearest to the blade and the fulcrum is at the end of the handle nearest to the wrist.
Which of the six simple machines is the basketball hoop?
A basketball hoop could be several types of simple machines. There are actually more than one simple machine that I can think of. The ones I can think of are the lever, the pulley, and the wheel and axle! Those are the ones I can think of.
3 ways simple machines make work easier?
Machines make work easier by:
-Changing the amount of force you exert
-Changing the distance in which you exert your force
-Changing the direction in which you exert your force
Work and simple machines answer sheet?
The fulcrum is the part of a lever that does not move.
The effort is the name of the force applied to a lever.
The load is the weight of the object being lifted by a lever.
How do simple machines affect your daily lives?
A scissors is made of levers and wedges. Cars, skateboards, and bicycles have wheels. Handicapped ramps are inclined planes. Screws hold our furniture together and hold our houses together as well.
What is the use of piv drive in sizing machine?
PIV drive usually has a hydraulic input, so as the beam diameter increases due to yarn wrapping, it slows the speed of the beam rotation. Since PIV is expensive and breaks all the time, people are replacing it with AC drive resulting in faster yield.
Give examples of complex machines and simple machines?
Well complex machines are usually hard to assemble and some times electronic like an xbox a microwave ect. A simple machine are usually made up of gears and wires like a clothes line a yo-yo ect. hope this helps
When you let water into a bathtub what kind of machine helps you open the tap?
