  1. 10These simple machines use a rigid bar and pivot to change the force needed to move a load.IDENTIFY
    Levers

    A lever multiplies force around a pivot point, the principle at work in a balanced seesaw.

  2. 11These wheel-and-rope devices change a pulling force's direction and can reduce the effort needed to lift a load.IDENTIFY
    Pulleys

    A pulley redirects a pulling force, letting a rope raise a flag by pulling down instead of up.

    Terminal Velocity

    Terminal velocity is reached when air resistance grows strong enough to balance the pull of gravity on a falling object.
