Introduction to Simple Machines

What are they? Simple machines are machines with few or no moving parts that are used to make work easier

Types of Simple Machines Wedge Wheel and Axle Lever Inclined Plane Screw Pulley

Wedge Pushes materials apart, cuts things Examples: axe, doorstop, chisel, nail, saw, jackhammer, bulldozer, snow plow, horse plow, zipper, scissors, airplane wing, knife, fork, bow of a boat or ship

Wheel and Axle Makes it easy to move things by rolling them, and reducing friction Examples: car, bicycle, office chair, wheel barrow, shopping cart, hand truck, roller skates

Lever Makes lifting weight easier by using a fulcrum to redirect force over a longer distance Examples: see-saw, dump truck, broom, crane arm, hammer claw, crow bar, fishing pole, screwdriver, bottle opener

Inclined Plane Makes it easier to move objects upward, but you have to go further horizontally Examples: highway or sidewalk ramp, stairs, inclined conveyor belts, switchback roads or trails

Screw Turns rotation into lengthwise movement Takes many twists to go a short distance Holds things together Examples: screws, bolts, clamps, jar lids, car jack, spinning stools, spiral staircases

Pulley Makes lifting things with a rope easier by redirecting force and the addition of additional pulleys Examples: flag pole, elevator, sails, fishing nets, clothes lines, cranes, window shades and blinds, rock climbing gear

Why Use Simple Machines? For the mechanical advantage… Making something easier to do, but it takes a little longer to do it For example, going up a longer flight of stairs instead of going straight up a ladder

Complex Machines Combining two or more simple machines to work together Examples: Car jack combines wedge and screw Crane or tow truck combines lever and pulley Wheel barrow combines wheel and axle with a lever

Summary Wedge Wheel and Axle Lever Inclined Plane Screw Pulley Pushes material apart, cuts Wheel and Axle Makes it easy to move things by rolling them, and reducing friction Lever Helps lift heavy weights using longer distances Inclined Plane Makes it easier to move objects upward; a longer path, but easier lifting Screw Turns rotation into lengthwise movement Pulley Makes lifting heavy weights easier by redirecting force
