The document defines work as energy transferred by a force causing movement, with the formula W=Fxd. Power is the rate of work over time, with the formula P=W/t. Machines make work easier by changing the amount or direction of force, classified as simple machines like levers, pulleys, wheels and axles, inclined planes, wedges, screws, or compound machines combining simple machines. Mechanical advantage is the number of times a machine multiplies force, while efficiency is the ratio of work output to input accounting for energy lost to friction.
