If a simple machine reduces the strength of a force, what must be increased? . a. the distance that the force move. b. the work the simple machine performs. c. the speed of the input force. d. the size of the simple machine

"The distance that the force moves" is the one among the following choices given in the question that must be increased, if a simple machine reduces the strength of a force. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the first option or option "A". I hope the answer helped you.

Answer;

A. the distance that the force move

Explanation;Simple machines function to make work easier by reducing human effort. These machines may increase the strength of the force, or increase the distance over which the force applied or even change the direction in which the force is applied.Therefore, when these simple machine reduce strength of a force then the distance over which the force is applied or moves should be increased. Examples of machines that makes work easier by increasing the distance over which the force is applied include, hammers and leaf rakes.

The answer is b hope this
