because the friction involved in the box sliding down has overcome the pull of gravity.

What makes inclined plane moves?

Inclined planes don't move. Things that go down it do.


How can an inclined plane help move object?

Inclined planes have gravity to help them if the object is to be moved down the plane. If they are flat planks on inclined planes, they could be used with fulcrums to move them (like a "teeter totter") That's how they built the pyramids. Billy-carts roll down an incline plane


What is the inclined plane used for?

An inclined plane is a type of simple machine that makes it easier to move object up or downhill.


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.


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.


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.


What is an inclined plane and what is it's purpose?

An inlcined plane is something that helps you move something to a higher place.


What is an inclined plane used to move objects one height to another?

A ramp.


Does friction makes objects move faster over an inclined plane?

yes


What is the disadvantge of a inclined plane?

The disadvantage is you must move the object a greater distance


What kind of plane is a slope that reduces effort needed to move something?

an inclined plane! atleast that's what I think
