force
Speed and force are quite different things.
The multiplier. The multiplicand is multiplied by the multiplier to create the product.
Drag force, or the force of air friction for a falling body, increases with speed. A falling object will reach a speed at which the force of air friction will be equal to and opposite the force of gravity. At that point, the object will no longer accelerate. It's speed will remain constant, and we call that speed (and direction) its terminal velocity.
Multiplier x multiplicand = product
For a change of p percent, the multiplier is (1+p/100).

Force Multiplier
A pulley is a force multiplier. (it swaps force for distance).
Why are pulley force multipliers? Pulley are force multipliers because they expand the distance over which it operates.

AnswerA golf club is a speed multiplier
Speed
Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier
A force multiplier increases the effort force and the mechanical advantage is larger than one (Which means it is easier to move a large load with a small effort). While the speed multiplier does not make the effort easier but makes the load move through a larger distance than the effort. The mechanical advantage of a speed multiplier is usually lower than 1.
a machine which is a speed multiplier is the better one
In a Pulley System, the number of "Supporting Strings" is equal to the Force multiplier of the system. That is, if there are 4 supporting strings (plus the string you pull on), and the object being raised weighs 100 pounds, then the effort you supply is only 25 pounds. The Pulley System has a force multiplier of 4 times the input.
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
