3. Name six simple machines and give an example of each. (Sec 2.1)
The six simple machines are:
a) Inclined plane – e.g. A wheelchair ramp, a slide, skateboard
ramp
b) Wedge – e.g. An axe, a doorstop, your front teeth
c) Screw – e.g. Jar lids, light bulbs
d) Wheel and axle – e.g. A steering wheel, wheels of a car, a Ferris

c) A force of 1200N was used to push a couch 0.5m. How much work
was done? Show your work.
There can be a lot of force applied, but if it does not result in the
object moving, then there is no work done. W = f x d. If d = 0, then W
= 0.
