Honestly, all of these things can be easily seen just by looking at your can opener. Wheels, axles, and wedges all have easily identifiable shapes. Just look.

How is a can opener a lever a wedge a gear and a wheel and axle?
Think about it. You must clamp the can opener onto the can (lever). After squeezing the can opener onto the can using LEVERAGE, two small metal discs WEDGE themselves into the can. Then finally by manually turning the can opener, you are utilizing a GEAR, WHEEL and AXLE system to open the can. Hope that helps.

What type of simple machine is a can opener?
A can opener's blade is a wedge because it redirects energy by pushing the metal can top to the side. It also has a gear, which is a toothed wheel. The actual handle of the can opener (if it spins) is a wheel and axel which is explains itself. If you were taught a screw is a simple machine, it has plenty of those. The whole can opener together is a lever because your wrist joint if is the fulcrum, the end of it is the load, and your hand's energy that's pushing it is the effort.

What is the input force and output force of a can opener?
A "regular" can opener is a machine that combines a wedge (to cut through the top of the can) with a wheel and axle (which moves the can opener's cuttng wheel -- the wedge -- around the top of the can). The input force is provided by the operator, either by hand or via electric power. The output force is the separation of the metal of the top and the movement of the opener around the can. We also find that the can and the openers parts get a bit warmer with its use, and there are losses in the system due to friction.
