Simple machines are tools, devices or objects that are used to make work easier.

TYPES OF SIMPLE MACHINES.

  • Levers
  • Inclined Plane
  • Wedges
  • Screw
  • Pulley
  • Wheel & Axle

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

A lever is simply a plank or ridge beam that is free to rotate on a pivot.

<u>P</u><u>A</u><u>R</u><u>T</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u> </u>

  1. Load
  2. Effort
  3. Fulcrum or pivot

<u>C</u><u>L</u><u>A</u><u>S</u><u>S</u><u>E</u><u>S</u><u> </u><u>O</u><u>F</u><u> </u><u>L</u><u>E</u><u>V</u><u>E</u><u>R</u><u>S</u>

THE FIRST CLASS LEVER

In this class, the FULCRUM is between the EFFORT and the LOAD. The mechanical advantage is more if the load is closer to the FULCRUM. Examples: seesaws, boat oars and crowbars.

THE SECOND CLASS LEVER

In this class, the LOAD is between the EFFORT and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the LOAD is closer to the FULCRUM. Example: wheelbarrow.

THE THIRD CLASS LEVER

In this class, the EFFORT is between the LOAD and the FULCRUM. The mechanical advantage is more if the EFFORT is closer to the LOAD. Example: garden shovel.

<u>T</u><u>H</u><u>E</u><u> </u><u>INCLINED</u><u> </u><u>PLANE</u><u> </u><u>OR</u><u> </u><u>RAMP</u>

An inclined plane is a simple machine with a sloping surface. It makes it easier for us to move objects from lower grounds to higher grounds.

<u>W</u><u>E</u><u>D</u><u>G</u><u>E</u><u>S</u>

A wedge is simply a triangular tool, often made of wood, stone, metal or plastic. It is thick at one end and tapers to a thin or sharp edge at the other end. Examples: knife, axe, doorstopper, nail, blade on the snow plough or farmer grader.

<u>PULLEY</u>

A pulley is simply a wheel with a groove in it, and a rope in the groove. It is used to lift heavy objects from the ground to high places.

<u>WHEEL</u><u> </u><u>&</u><u> </u><u>AXLE</u>

Involves two circular objects joined at the center. It works when force is applied to the wheel or when force is applied to the axle. Example: door knob.

As a glacier melts, the volume V of the ice, measured in cubic kilometers, decreases at a rate modeled by the differential equat
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

the volume in terms of time t ⇒ \\V = e^{0.05t} + 399\\

Explanation:

Given that :

\frac{dv}{dt}= kv\\\\\int\limits \, \frac{dv}{v}=  \int\limits \, kdt\\In v = kt + C_1\\v = e^{kt} + C\\400 = e^{k*0} + C\\400 = 1 + C\\C = 400 -1\\C = 399

V = e^{kt} + 399

When v = 300 ;  \frac{dv}{dt}= - 15

then

\frac{dv}{dt}= kv\\\\-15 = 300*k\\\\k = \frac{-15}{300}\\\\\\k = \frac{-1}{20}\\\\k = -0.05

∴ \\V = e^{0.05t} + 399\\

Therefore, the volume in terms of time t ⇒ \\V = e^{0.05t} + 399\\

What kind of waves can cause the most damage on the earth's surface?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Surface waves, in contrast to body waves can only move along the surface. They arrive after the main P and S waves and are confined to the outer layers of the Earth. They cause the most surface destruction. Earthquake surface waves are divided into two different categories: Love and Rayleigh.

Explanation:

Hope this helped Mark BRAINLIEST!!!

Melissa and Rory live near a bike trail, 21 km apart. They plan to meet at a park mid-way between their homes. They start from t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

27km.

Explanation:

Jessie will run for a duration of time, which is the time it takes for Melissa and Rory to meet each other.

Together combined, Melissa and Rory runs at 14km/h. The bike trail is 21km, so it will take 1.5 hours.

Jessie runs at 18km/h, so Jessie will run 18 * 1.5 = 27km.

A weight lifter lifts a 250 Newton weight up 1.5 meters. How much work did they do?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

375 J

Explanation:

Work done is the product of force and distance moved by the object.

W=F*d

Given that ;

Force= F= 250 N

Distance= d =1.5 m

W= 250 * 1.5 =375 J
