What are the transfer of energy for the 6 simple machine? Ex: inclined plane is gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy. What are the rest?

I. Inclined plane: GPE to KE.

II. Screw: KE to GPE.

III. Wheel and axle: GPE to KE.

IV. Lever: GPE to KE.

V. Wedge: GPE to KE.

VI. Pulley: GPE to KE.

Explanation:

A simple machine can be defined as a type of machine with no moving parts but can be used to perform work.

Basically, a simple machine allows for the transformation of energy into work. The six simple machines are;

I. Inclined plane: gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy (kinetic energy). It is set at an angle and then used to lift an object.

II. Screw: kinetic energy to potential energy. It is held in position and then used to tighten two or more objects together.

III. Wheel and axle: gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy (kinetic energy). It comprises of two circular objects which aids in the motion of an object such as a car.

IV. Lever: gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy (kinetic energy). It comprises of a pivoted bar at a fixed point (fulcrum) that allows it to be used for lifting heavy objects.

V. Wedge: gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy (kinetic energy). It can be used to split objects into halves.

VI. Pulley: gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy (kinetic energy). It is made up of a wheel and rope which allows force to be multiplied such as in a drawing well.

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

answer:

the answer is d
