Which of the following statements does NOT characterize how a simple machine affects works done?
Answer (1)
Answer:The correct answer would be a statement that suggests a simple machine increases the amount of work done, rather than just changing the direction or magnitude of the force applied.Simple machines can:- Change the direction of the force applied- Increase or decrease the magnitude of the force applied- Increase or decrease the distance over which the force is appliedHowever, simple machines do not increase the amount of work done. According to the law of conservation of energy, the amount of work done remains the same, but the machine can make it easier to do the work by changing the force or distance.Without the specific options, it's hard to pinpoint the exact statement, but generally, any statement claiming that simple machines increase the total amount of work done would be incorrect.
