4. How do simple machines make work easier?

a. they decrease the distance needed between a person and an object, allowing the person to apply more force and do more work

b. they reduce the amount of force needed to move an
object to do the same amount of work ***

c. they magnify the force being applied, thereby decreasing the work they can do with no extra energy exerted by the person using the machine

d. they increase the distance over which a force is needed, doing more work with less force

B. 40 joules
C. 80 joules
D. 196 joules***

6. A person is lifting a heavy box using a lever. What is the purpose of the lever in this situation?

A. to reduce the energy needed to lift the box while keeping the direction of the force the same

B. to reduce the energy needed to life the box and change the direction of the force ***

c. to reduce the force needed to life the box while keeping the direction of the force the same

d. to reduce the force needed to lift the box and change the direction of the force

7. Use the image of a person lifting a boulder with a lever to answer the question.

Where is the fulcrum in this situation?

A. it is the point where the boulder touches the ground. ***

B. it is the point where the person's hand pushes down of the bar

C. it is the point where the bar touches the boulder.

D. it is the point where the bar touches the smaller rock

12. 60%
These answers are 100% i pinky promise!

Bucky is right, I got 12/12! Thank you!!!

bucky is correct

bucky is right

bucky is right for u3 l8 of science 8th grade

bucky is correct! tysm

Force and Work Unit Test

Bucky is RIGHT TYSM FOR THE 100

@arson because most of the people here have a test with 12 questions, your test must be a different one

Thank you so muchhh! I used buckys answers to go over mine and make sure I got them right :D I only got 3 wrong, but I changed them and will know next time.
