Answer 1

Here are the correct matches for each term from Column A to the descriptions in Column B:

1. **Simple Machine**: b. basic mechanical devices that change the direction or amount of a force needed to lift a load or do work
2. **Mechanical Force**: f. forces that involve contact with another object
3. **Mechanical Advantage**: e. a ratio of the resistance force to the effort force
4. **Inclined Plane**: d. a type of simple machine with a smooth slanted surface, reducing the force needed to do work
5. **Pulley System**: c. a type of simple machine with a rope or chain that wraps around a wheel, reducing the force needed to lift a heavy load
6. **Lever**: a. a rigid bar resting on a pivot, used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load with one end when pressure is applied to the other.
