Let me work through this matching problem step by step.
I need to match each simple machine (shown in the pictures on the left) with its correct name (on the right).
Looking at the connections shown:
1.
First picture (top) - Shows a screw
- The gray line connects it to "screw" ✓
2.
Second picture - Shows a pulley system with ropes and wheels
- The blue line connects it to "pulley" ✓
3.
Third picture - Shows a hammer being used to pull out a nail (this is using leverage)
- The red line connects it to "lever" ✓
4.
Fourth picture - Shows a ramp with a box on it
- The brown/orange line connects it to "inclined plane" ✓
5.
Fifth picture - Shows a wedge (like an axe head or doorstop shape)
- The orange line connects it to "wedge" ✓
6.
Sixth picture (bottom) - Shows a wheel attached to an axle
- The green line connects it to "wheel and axle" ✓
All the matches are already correctly drawn in the answer key!
Final Answer:
The correct matches are:
- Screw → screw
- Pulley system → pulley
- Hammer pulling nail → lever
- Ramp → inclined plane
- Wedge shape → wedge
- Wheel with axle → wheel and axle
