   • B.a speed multiplier
   • C.a device to change the direction of effort
   • D.an energy multiplier
2. 2.The mechanical advantage of an ideal single movable pulley is : (a) 1 (b) 2
   • A.1
   • B.2
   • C.less than 2
   • D.less than 1
3. 3.Which of the following is NOT a function of a simple machine?
   • A.Act as a force multiplier
   • B.Act as a speed multiplier
   • C.Generate energy from nothing
   • D.Change the direction of the effort applied
4. 4.What is meant by an ideal machine, and how does it differ from a practical machine?
   • A.An ideal machine has 100% efficiency with no energy loss, while a practical machine loses energy due to factors like friction.
   • B.An ideal machine produces more work output than input, while a practical machine has equal input and output work.
   • C.An ideal machine is frictionless but has efficiency less than 100%, while a practical machine has no energy loss.
   • D.An ideal machine and a practical machine both have 100% efficiency, but practical machines are more durable.
5. 5.How does the actual mechanical advantage (AMA) differ from the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) in a simple machine?
   • A.AMA accounts for friction and machine parts' weight, while IMA assumes no losses
   • B.IMA is always less than AMA due to energy losses
   • C.AMA and IMA are identical in all machines
   • D.IMA considers only the effort, while AMA considers only the load
