21
Q

What is a machine with two simple machines called

A

It is called a complex machine

22
Q

What is a knife

A

Very sharp

23
Q

Is a fencing screw a complex machine

A

Yes it has a wedge at the tip and a grooved body made of inclined planes

24
Q

Did your rube Goldberg machine work (yes, no, why or why not)

A

No correct answer just talk to yourself for a second

25
Other than cutting what is the most common use for a wedge
It is most commonly used for a fulcrum
26
What two simple machines would be the best for making a hole
A wedge or a screw would be the best to make a hole
27
Can a simple machine be made of other simple machines
Yes a pulley is a wheel and axle and a wedge is two inclined planes
28
What simple machine is a spike
A cylindrical wedge
29
Can animals use simple machines
Yes porcupine’s uses sharp wedge shaped quills for defense
30
Find one of each of the six simple machines in forty-five seconds
(1 object click one) (2 objects click two) I'm sure you figured out the pattern
31
How do you find mass
A scale
32
How do you find volume
Base X Width X height = volume
33
What shape is used to organize the Volume, mass, and density of objects
A triangle
34
A mechanical mixture is
Something that can be filtered and separated by hand
35
How might a suspension tower be useful
You could use the density of a known liquid and see if the unknown substance floats or sinks giving you a better idea of the density
36
What does the viscosity mean
It is the rate of flow of an object, the more viscous the slower it flows and the lower the viscosity the faster it flows
37
What is a pure substance
A periodical element that has nothing but the element
38
What has a lower viscosity than a liquid
A gas
39
Why might a diet soda float when a regular soda sink
The diet soda is less dense because of it being sugar-free and having less of other things being dissolved in it
40
What two forces are affecting a boat in the open water
The downward gravitational force and the upward buoyant force
41
What is one common gas that is heavier than oxygen
Carbon dioxide is heavier than oxygen
42
What is an attractive force
It is how strongly bonded the particles of a substance are
43
What has a stronger attractive force, honey or water
Honey has a stronger attractive force because when it is poured it won't segment into multiple pools but into one large pool of honey
44
Why can't you use oxygen in a fire extinguisher
Because oxygen is a fuel for the fire and would just worsen the problem
45
what liquid does MR Foisy let us use that has the | highest viscosity
the rogers syrup has the highest viscosity
