What is an incilind plane?
you mean inclined plane? a simple machine (a plane at an incline) that uses gravity and slope to move objects. e.g.: a slide is an inclined plane. If it were horizontal, you wouldn't go anywhere.
How does making the slope of an inclined plane less steep affect the amount of force needed to move an object?
It requires less force to move an object up an inclined plane if the slope is less steep.
When a person is using an inclined plane it decreases the amount of what need to move an object?
When a person is using an inclined plane it decreases the amount of force needed to move the object.
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.
How does making slope of an inclined plane less steep affect the amount of force needed to move an object?
the less steep it is the less force you will need
What is a disadvantage of the incline plane?
* effort needs to move over a greater distance
What is an incline plane used to move objects from one height to another?
A ramp.
Can an object move backward on an inclined plane?
Yes, if the incline angle becomes great enough. > As the angle increases, the force on the object down the incline increases but the effective weight on the slope surface decreases. > When the object breaks away the angle of incline can be used to calculate the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces. > coefficient of friction = sine ( incline angle ) / cosine ( incline angle )
How do the values of work found for the various lengths of inclined plane compare?
The values of work found for different lengths of inclined plane depend on the mass of the object being moved and the angle of the incline. Generally, as the length of the inclined plane increases, the amount of work required to move the object decreases. This is because a longer incline allows for a smaller vertical distance over which the gravitational force acts, reducing the amount of work needed. However, the angle of the incline also plays a role, as a steeper incline requires more work to move the object regardless of its length.
What is load force?
The load force is applying a force to move or hold an object that has weight.
What direction will the load move when you apply force downward in the pulley system?
The load will move upwards.

What is the disadvantage of a force advantage in a machine?
For example: think of the inclined plane- The advantage of gaining force is offset by the disadvantage of losing distance. So, that means... The longer the inclined plane is, the less steep it has to be and the less force a load needs to have exerted on it to move. :) Hope that answers your question. :)
Whats the force needed to move a load?
the force on the load is the force exerted by the simple machine on the load. All simple machines involve a force on the load and an effort force.
What is the function of the incline plane?
increases the distance an object travels, but reduces the force needed to raise the object to a higher level
What is the difference between an inclined plane and a wedge?
There is a difference between both of them. The inclined plane can help move an object up or down. A wedge can help to cut or split things apart. They look very similar but are used for different things.
How can the efficiency of an inclined plane be increased?
Efficiency is the ratio of power output to power input. It is not the ratio of forces or distances. You can move a load using less force by reducing the gradient of the plane. But what you gain in reduced force you lose in having to travel a greater distance to raise the load through the same height. There is, therefore, no net advantage. The only way to increase the efficiency is to reduce the friction. This can be done by lubricating the plane, or load (or both), or by placing rollers between the load and the plane - so that there is rolling friction rather than sliding friction.
