simplest mechanisms that use mechanical advantage (also called leverage) to multiply force. Lever Wheel and axle Pulley Inclined plane Wedge Screw a machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge, or fulcrum. a wheel attached to an axle so that these two parts rotate together in which a force is transferred from one to the other. wheel on an axle or shaft that is designed to support movement and change of direction of a taut cable or belt along its circumference also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. a triangular shaped tool, used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. mechanism that converts rotational motion to linear motion, and a torque (rotational force) to a linear force. vibration that propagates as a typically audible mechanical wave of pressure and displacement, through a medium such as air or water. STETHOSCOPE a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particle. the level of activity for the molecules in an object. Thermometer Heat Pad the force where objects are attracted or repelled to one another class of physical phenomena that are mediated by magnetic fields phenomenon associated with the motion of electric charges Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy Devices
