A _________ is a bar that turns on a Point? | Lever |
The Point that a Lever turns on is called the _______? | Fulcrum |
The amount of effort needed on a lever is determined by the ______ between the effort and the fulcrum? | Distance |
When is work done? | Work is done when a force moves an object over a distance. |
What determines the amount of work that is done? | Work is measured by HOW MUCH FORCE it takes to move something and HOW FAR it is moved. |

A Fixed Pulley changes the ___________ of the force needed to lift the load? | Direction |
Where are the effort and load placed when using a Pulley? | At opposite ends of the rope that is wrapped around the Pulley. |
When you turn the Wheel of a wheel and axle, the axle turns with more _____ than the wheel does? | Force |
