Simple Machines
Across
- 2. Machine - A machine made up of two or more simple machines working together.
- 3. - A force that resists motion when two surfaces rub together.
- 5. - When a force moves an object over a distance.
- 7. Advantage - How much a machine multiplies the effort force to make work easier.
- 8. Advantage - When a machine allows a task to be done faster or over a greater distance.
- 10. Force - The force you apply to a machine (the effort).
- 11. - A wheel with a rope or chain that changes the direction of a force and helps lift loads.
- 16. - A simple machine with sloping sides used to cut or split things (e.g., knife, axe).
- 17. - A measure of how much useful work a machine does compared to the energy put in.
- 18. - The object that a force is used to move or lift.
Down
- 1. - The fixed point around which a lever pivots.
- 4. - A push, pull, or twist that makes an object move, stop, or change direction.
- 6. - An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder that helps hold objects together or lift materials.
- 8. Machine - A device that makes work easier by changing the size or direction of a force.
- 9. of Force - The way a force acts — pushing, pulling, or twisting.
- 12. - A rigid bar that pivots around a fulcrum to move a load.
- 13. and Axle - A wheel attached to a rod that allows movement or rotation with less force.
- 14. - The force applied to make a load move.
- 15. Plane - A sloping surface that helps lift heavy objects with less effort (e.g., ramp).
- 19. Force - The force the machine applies to the load.
