| power | the amount of work done per unit of time |
| efficiency | the ratio between the work done by a machine and the work put into it |
| simple machine | a device with few, if any, moving parts that makes it easier to do work |
| mechanical advantage | the number of times a simple machine multiplies an effort force |
| lever | a simple machine consisting of a bar and pivot point |
| fulcrum | the pivot point of a lever |
| wheel and axle | a simple machine that consists of a wheel that applies an effort force and a smaller axle that produces an output force |
| pulley | a grooved wheel that turns by the action of a rope in the groove |
| inclined plane | a straight, slanted surface that can multiply an effort force |
| screw | a simple machine made of an inclined plane wrapped around a central bar that can multiply an effort force |
| wedge | an inclined plane that changes the direction of an applied force |
