- 10. the point where a lever rests or is supported (where it pivots)
- 11. motion: the movement of an object in a circular path
- 13. advantage: when you apply less force to lift a load than you would without the simple machine
- 15. force: the force the machine applies to the object you are moving
- 16. an inclined plane that moves and can split an object apart
Down
- 2. a rigid rod that rotates at a point
- 3. the amount of force required to cause an object to rotate
- 4. plane: is a sloped surface or ramp
- 6. motion: the motion that is natural to an object (moving in a straight line)
- 7. and axle: consists of a large wheel and a small wheel that rotate together
- 9. can be used to hold things together or lift things
