47. What is the benefit of using a compound machine rather than a single simple machine?
- Compound machines are easier to construct
- Compound machines require less effort to operate
- Compound machines can achieve a greater mechanical advantage
- Compound machines have fewer components, reducing the risk of failure
Answer
The correct answer is: C) Compound machines can achieve a greater mechanical advantage
Explanation
Compound machines may obtain mechanical benefits by combining the strengths of multiple simple machines, making it simpler to do work that would be tougher with a single simple machine.
