Match the followingDrag the simple machine into the description of how it makes work easier.

• Screw

• This simple machine makes moving a heavy object easier. It reduces the amount of friction the object encounters when being moved.

• Pulley

• This simple machine makes it easier to cut through material. The most common example of this machine is used to hold two things together.

• Lever

• This simple machine makes lifting things easier. As the input are length increases, the work is easier to do.

• Wedge

• This simple machine is used to lift things. The more loops / rope you have, the easier it is to lift the object.

• Wheel and Axle

• This simple machine makes it easier to spilt an object. It is made of two inclined planes put back to back.
