Across
- 4. A rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point (fulcrum) to lift or move a load with less effort.
- 6. Plane: A flat surface that is tilted at an angle to the horizontal, used to raise or lower objects with less effort than lifting them vertically.
- 8. A triangular-shaped tool that exerts force to split, lift, or hold objects in place by converting a force applied at one end into forces perpendicular to the other surfaces.
- 9. The amount of space between two points, measured in units such as meters or kilometers, often indicating the length of a path traveled.
- 10. and Axle: A simple machine consisting of a circular wheel attached to a central rod (axle), which allows for easier movement or transportation of objects.
Down
- 1. A device that uses energy to perform a specific task, often by altering the direction or magnitude of force.
- 2. A push or pull acting on an object, measured in newtons (N), which can cause the object to accelerate, change direction, or deform.
- 3. A wheel with a grooved rim that is used with a rope or cable to change the direction of a force, making it easier to lift heavy objects.
- 5. A cylindrical rod with a helical ridge (thread) that converts rotational motion into linear motion, often used to hold objects together or lift materials.
- 7. To increase in number, amount, or degree; in mathematics, it refers to the operation of combining equal groups to find a total.
