What is the slope of a ramp that has a rise of 1 inch over a run of 10ft?

Slope is equal to rise over run.
There are 12 inches in a foot, so 10 feet is actually 120 inches.
Therefore, the slope is equal to 1/120.

Is it more difficult to run up a ramp with a slope of 15 or a ramp with a slope of 5 Explain.?
The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.
When a ramp is at a angle of 10.5 degrees what will be the applied force?
The applied force will depend on the required force, and the angle to the ramp (or the horizontal) at which the force is applied.
What is the angle between the ramp and the horizontal?
The angle of inclination.
What is the name of a plane ramp?
Do you mean the long ramp that you walk down to get from the airport terminal onto the aeroplane which often slopes a little? If so, the correct name is a Jetway.
What are 4 examples of inclined planes?
1. The windshield of a car.2. When water runs down a sink or bathtub.3. When a skateboard runs down a ramp.4. A wheelchair down a ramp.
Maximum slope of an ADA ramp?
The maximun slope of an ADA ramp is 8.3% or 12:1.
How does newton's second law apply to an object rolling down a ramp?
Slope is defined as 'rise over run' in other words: take the height of the ramp and divide it by the length of the ramp. This gives you the slope. y2-y1/x2-x1
Would a skateboard ramp have a greater slope than a handicap ramp?
yes

What are some Real life example of slope?
a ramp
What does increasing the slope of the ramp do to the IMA?
Increase the IMA
What is the maximum slope for a car ramp?
it depends...a ramp with transitions at top and bottom can be steeper than one without, because severe change in slope can cause the vehicle to bottom out.
When A ball rolls down a slope ramp the acceleration is?
increasing
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
What is the effect of ramp length on the speed of a marble?
The independent variable is the slope of the ramp because you vary the slope in the experiment. How far the marble travels is the dependent variable because that is what you are measuring.
What is the minimum length for a 26 high wheelchair ramp?
I assume you mean 26 inch high wheelchair ramp? According to ADA requirements, minimum slope is 1:12. So a ramp that must accomodate a 26 inch drop must be 12 x26 = 312 inches or 26 feet long to meet ADA requirements. However, this is the minimum. It is recommended that ramps be as long as possible in order to allow easy access.
How do you stop a toy car from going down a ramp?
Either decrease the slope of the ramp, increase the friction on the axels of the car, or make the tires stick to the ramp in some fashion.
