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).
What is a kite string attached to?
Kite string comes on wooden dowels, about half an inch to an inch in diameter, with the string wrapped around the dowel. One end of the string is attached to the kite, while the other end is attached to the dowel that you hold while flying the kite. The dowel allows you to easily release more string to let the kite go higher, or to reel the kite back in to you.
How does an inclined plane change the way work is done?
An incline plane allows less effort (pushing force) to be used to move a weight to a higher level without lifting straight up. You have to push it a longer distance, so ideally, the same amount of work is done, but really, due to friction more work is done. Maybe you can't lift a 500 pound barrel, but you can roll it up an inclined plane into the back of a truck.
What is a back to back stem and leaf chart?
A back to back stem and leaf chart consists of two stem and leaf charts, usually measuring related variables. The two charts share the same stem; in one chart the leaves go from right, at the stem, to left while in the other chart the leaves go from left to right as "normal".
What are the 4 example of bodies performing simple harmonic motion?
Pendant in a clock Swing Suspended spring with mass attached An object moving back and forth between rubber buffers along an air track
What is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes placed back-to-back?

How is a inclined plane and a wedge different?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
How is a wedge different from and inclined plane?

How is a wedge different from a inclined plane?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
What are inclined planes placed back to back?
It is a wedge.
How does a wedge differ from a inclined plane?
A wedge has two inclined planes back-to-back that are not at a right angle

What are some examples of inclined planes in your house?
examples of inclined planes are your roof a lamp shade the beck of a t.v. a ramp and the back of your couch
What kind of simple machine is a ramp?
inclined plainA ramp is an example of an inclined plane(:A ramp is an inclined planeincline planeA ramp belongs under the simple machine category of inclined planes. Inclined planes are sloping or slanting in figure which allows less effort to be exerted or applied, making work easier. The ramp has one end raised up to help raise an object, rather pushing a certain object than lifting it. Other examples of inclined planes other than the ramp are the stairs. When two inclined planes are put back to back, another simple machine called the wedge.
Can planes be perpendicular to each other?
no planes are not perpendicular to each other because for air resistance the planes are designed in a such way that air is avoided to back side and they are inclined to each other.
What is the difference between a regular machine and a simple machine?
The kinds of simple machine are: Lever, Inclined Plane, Wheel and Axle, Screw, Wedge, Pulley. Lever is a rigid bar that turns or pivots on a fired point called fulcrum. It is used to push, pull or lift objects using less force. Inclined Plane is a ramp or scope that reduces the force you need to exert in lifting something. Wheel and Axle is a device in which a small wheel is attached at the center of a larger wheel. Screw is a inclined plane wound around a post. Wedge is used to cut, split or divide objects.It is made up of 2 inclined planes put back to back to form a sharp edge. Pulley is used to raise and to lower objects.It is a grooved wheel that turns on an axle and acts as lever, a simple machine which consist of small wheel with groove on a rope.
