Question
Answer
A wedge is a sloped surface that forces materials apart.   true  
🗑
A combination of fixed and moveable pulleys working together is called pulley system.   true  
🗑
The efficiency of such a machine is determined by multiplying the efficiencies of each simple machine.   true  
🗑
What is a simple machine, and what are the six types of simple machines?   A simple machine does work using only one movement. They are lever, wheel and axle, inclined plane, wedge, screw and pulley.

🗑
a wheelbarrow   second-class lever  
🗑
how is the efficiency of a compound machine calculated?   by multiplying the efficiencies  
🗑
how can gears change change the size and direction of a force?   Because gears of different sizes turn at different speeds.  
🗑
EXPLAIN why a wedge that splits wood is an example of a compound machine.   Because it is two simple machines that are operating together.
