Hello! Here are four things mechanisms can change!!!
1. Position: mechanism can change the position of an object or a part of a system. For instance, in a car. The mechanism of the transmission changes the position of the gears to enable the vehicle to move forward or backward.
2. Speed: mechanism can also change the speed at which something moves. take a ceiling fan as an example. The mechanism in the fan controls the speed at which the blades rotate., allowing you to adjust the airflow to your liking.
3. Force: mechanism can alter the amount of force applied in a system. A good example is a lever. By adjusting the position of the fulcrum. The mechanism of the lever. can’t change the force required to lift an object.
4.Direction: mechanism can change the direction of movement or force. consider a steering mechanism in a bicycle. By turning the handlebars, the mechanism changes the direction in which the front wheel moves allowing the rider to control the the bikes path.
