What is IMA of an inclined plane?

ignoring friction or ideal mechanical advantage


Is it easier to lift a 50 kilogram box straight up 8 meters or slide it up an inclined plane that is 20 meters long?

While lifting it straight up is harder, overall it is less work because you do not have to contend with the friction of the inclined plane. Overcoming that friction is work done which is totally wasted.While lifting it straight up is harder, overall it is less work because you do not have to contend with the friction of the inclined plane.

What forces effect a car rolling down an inclined plane?

gravity and friction


Does friction makes objects move faster over an inclined plane?

yes


How does the initial velocity change with he point of released of inclined plane?

the INITIAL velocity does not change. It is constant. however, the velocity changes depends on the friction and inclination of the inclined plane.


What is the IMA of the inclined plane?

The ideal mechanical advantage, or IMA, of an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by its height. The IMA is calculated without regard to friction.


Why isn't an inclined plane perfectly efficient?

Input force is lost due to friction.


Why does friction on an inclined plane increase as the height of the inclined plane increases?

It doesnt. I assume you mean angle, and as the angle increases the frictional force creases as friction is dependant upon the force of the normal. When the angle increase's the force of the normal decreases (because it is a cosine function).


How would the amount of force that is needed to put the load up the inclined plane be reduced?

Reduce the friction


Why is the inclined plane helpful?

because it reduces the amount of input force over longer distance


Does a trolley with a bigger mass have a bigger acceleration down an inclined friction compensated plane or does it have a smaller acceleration?

smaller


Is a hammer a inclined plane?
