• a wedge

• a screw

What occurs when a machine's mechanical advantage is equal to 1?

• It increases the force applied

• It only changes the direction of the force.

• it makes the machine more efficient.

• It decreases the distance moved.

• an inclined plane.

• a wheel and axle.

• a lever.

• a pulley.

A word that describes how fast you are using the energy is called
