==Key Stage 3==
===Meaning===
A '''distance multiplier''' is a tool that increases the distance moved by a [[force]].
===About Force Multipliers===
: A '''distance can be multiplied''' due to [[Conservation of Energy]]. Since [[Work Done]] = [[Force]] x [[distance]] then a tool can make the [[distance]] larger by making the [[force]] smaller.
: The [[force]] provided by the '''distance multiplier''' is smaller than the original [[force]].
: There are four main '''distance multipliers''' you should know:
*[[Lever]]s
*[[Gear]]s
*[[Pulley]]s
*[[Hydraulic System]]s
