5th Science Chapter 7 Part 2
Across
- 3. This insect uses a lever action in it's legs when it jumps.
- 5. The horizontal distance that a ramp covers.
- 6. A tiny inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
- 8. Simple machines do not reduce the amount of _____ being done.
- 9. A beam or bar that pivots on a fixed point.
- 13. An object that resists the force applied by simple machines.
- 14. Another name for the fulcrum.
- 16. A device that makes work easier and which has few or no moving parts.
- 17. The maximum height of a ramp.
- 18. The force that is applied to a simple machine.
- 21. A straight, slanted surface used to raise an object.
- 22. In this type of lever, the load is between the fulcrum and effort. Ex: Wheelbarrow (hyphen in answer)
Down
- 1. When a simple machine is used to do work, often the work requires less ______ over a greater distance.
- 2. A lever that has a wheel and rope attached to it that allows the user to change the direction of the force.
- 3. A measure of the steepness of a slope.
- 4. The point where a lever rotates or pivots.
- 7. This is a combination of 2 inclined planes.
- 8. This simple machine is used to draw a bucket of water up in a water well.
- 10. These inclined planes reduce the amount of force needed to move an object.
- 11. One of the earliest tools found.
- 12. The handle of this tool is considered a lever.
- 15. This type of lever has the fulcrum directly between the effort and the load. Ex: Seesaw (hyphen in answer)
- 17. In this lever, the effort is between the load and the fulcrum. Ex. Tweezers (hyphen in answer)
- 19. Simple machines can change the amount of ____ applied to an object.
- 20. Simple machines can alter the ______ of the force applied to an object.
- 22. When a longer ramp is used to decrease the amount of effort, the steepness of the _____ also decreases.
