It's either LESS force over a GREATER distance or MORE force over a SHORTER distance.

What do you trade to get force to help you lift things with inclined planes?
time and distance.
What are adjectives for inclined planes?
slanted,easier work, simple machine,and force
How does the inclined plane do your works faster and easier?
The reason that inclined planes allow us to reduce the force necessary to move items is because the work required to do both (Work = Force x Distance) is the same. When pushing up an inclined plane, the pusher only has to counteract the component of gravity that wants to slide the object back down the plane, instead of fighting against the entire force of gravity. Using an inclined plane decreases the force necessary to accomplish the task but increases the distance required for force against the vertical component. (An angled plane shortens the distance of travel overall).
Does an inclined plane increase the distance over which a force is applied?
Yes, but it also decreases that force.
How does increasing the distance of an inclined plane effect the force needed to raise an object?
the less force is needed.
What is the formula of inclined planes?
work=force times distance
What do you trade to get force to help you lift things with inclined planes?
time and distance.
Is It true that an inclined plane allows you to lift a heavy load by using greater force over a shorter distance?
an inclined olane allows you to lift a heavy load by using greater force over a shorter distance
What simple machine decreases force increases distance and changes the direction of a force?
Levers, inclined planes, and compound pulleys all do that.

Why inclined planes are classified as force multipliers?
Because it always has a mechanical advantage greater then 1.
An inclined plane reduces the effort force by .?
increasing the distance
Does an inclined plane increase the distance over which a force is applied?
Yes, but it also decreases that force.
Does an inclined plane decrease the applied force and increase the distance over which the force is applied?
Yes, your right.
How does increasing the distance of an inclined plane effect the force needed to raise an object?
the less force is needed.
When an inclined plane is used?
a smaller force is exerted over a longer distance.
