Question

put the following labels on the following objects

Labels:
Wedge, Pulley, Wheel/axle, Screw, Inclined Plane, Lever

Objects: Spoon, Basket, Towel, Napkin, Pedal

Answer 1

Here are the labels assigned to the objects based on their functions:

- **Spoon**: Lever (functions like a lever to scoop and lift)
- **Basket**: Pulley (if we think of it in terms of lifting or moving items, but it can also realistically be excluded; typically not a simple machine)
- **Towel**: Wedge (you can think of it as a wedge when folding, but it doesn’t really fit the concept of simple machines like the others; typically not a simple machine)
- **Napkin**: Inclined Plane (this is a stretch; it doesn’t really apply as a simple machine; typically not a simple machine)
- **Pedal**: Wheel/Axle (functions to create motion)

To sum it up, some of the labels might not ideally fit all objects, as some items like the basket, towel, and napkin are not simple machines. Here's a more precise labeling based only on applicable simple machines:

- **Spoon**: Lever
- **Basket**: (not applicable)
- **Towel**: (not applicable)
- **Napkin**: (not applicable)
- **Pedal**: Wheel/Axle
