Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Simple Machines Worksheets
Okay, now I see the third row of objects clearly. From left to right, there is a staircase, a wheelbarrow, and a bow.

- The staircase is a series of steps that provide an inclined path to move between different levels. This is a classic example of an inclined plane.
- The wheelbarrow is primarily a lever (with the wheel as the fulcrum), but it can also be considered to have an inclined plane when you are loading or unloading items from its tray, which is often slanted. However, its primary classification is usually as a lever. For this exercise, since it's not a simple ramp, it might be classified as something else, but it's not a screw or wedge. The instructions say to cross out items that are *not* special inclined planes. A wheelbarrow is a compound machine, so it doesn't fit perfectly into the "inclined plane" category for this worksheet.
- The bow (for archery) is a type of lever. It is not an inclined plane, nor is it a screw or wedge.

Given the instructions, I need to identify which items are inclined planes. The staircase is the only one in this row that is clearly an inclined plane. The wheelbarrow and bow are not.

Based on my analysis of all the objects in the image, I can now provide a complete solution to the problem.

The task is to identify which items are inclined planes and which are screws or wedges. According to the instructions, I should cross out with an "X" the items that are not special inclined planes and classify them as other screws or wedges.

Here is the classification for each object:

- Chisel: Wedge
- Scissors: Wedge (the blades are wedges)
- Screwdriver: Screw (used to turn screws, which are inclined planes)
- Knife: Wedge
- Large blade (machete/cleaver): Wedge
- Jar with lid: Screw (the lid has screw threads)
- Axe: Wedge
- Sickle: Wedge
- Staircase: Inclined Plane
- Wheelbarrow: Not an inclined plane (it's primarily a lever)
- Bow: Not an inclined plane (it's a lever)

Therefore, the only item that is an inclined plane is the staircase. All other items should be crossed out with an "X" and classified as either a screw or a wedge.

Final Answer:

- Cross out the chisel, scissors, screwdriver, knife, large blade, jar with lid, axe, sickle, wheelbarrow, and bow with an "X".
- Classify the chisel, scissors, knife, large blade, axe, and sickle as wedges.
- Classify the screwdriver and jar with lid as screws.
- The staircase is the only item that is an inclined plane and should not be crossed out.
