10 simple machines

Simple Machines - In all the above examples, a machine either multiplies or reduces the effect of the force that is applied. A bicycle is a machine which is used to gain speed. We gain speed by exerting additional force. When we try to ride a bicycle up a ste..

A bicycle is a machine which is used to gain speed. We gain speed by exerting additional force. When we try to ride a bicycle up a steep hill, we soon realize that we gain speed by applying greater force. It is impossible to multiply both the force and gain the speed at the same tim..

fig. 13.10 - Common Fatty Acids A fatty acid is described as unsaturated if one (mono) or more (poly) double bonds occur between the carbon atoms of the chain. The 18 carbon unsaturated fatty acids are oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid with one, two and three double bond respec..

Before surgeons can perform open-heart surgery or heart transplants or even to correct a simple heart defect, they have to be able to open up the heart and expose the chambers. To enable this, circulation and respiration are maintained by the heart - lung machine. The func..

A machine can produce 28 bars of soap in one hour. How many soaps does the machine produce in 10 hours? => 280+10 or 280 or 280-10 or 280-20..

Summary - Machine is a device that is used to multiply force, or to gain speed, or to change the direction of a force, or transform energy. Levers, pulleys, inclined plane and gears are some of the examples of simple machines..
