What is an inclined plane with two or more sloping slides that changes the direction of the applied force?
triangle
Does an inclined plane lift a heavy load by using more or less force over distance greater?
Less
How is the bathtub floor a incline plane?
The bottom of the bathtub is inclined. It leads towards the drain. They make it so that water will go straight to the drain and wont just settle. It would then take force to keep the water up the incline (away from the drain). That followes the definition of an incline plane.
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.
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 formula of inclined planes?
work=force times distance
Are stairs force multipliers or speed multipliers?
Speed
What are adjectives for inclined planes?
slanted,easier work, simple machine,and force
What do you trade to get force to help you lift things with inclined planes?
time and distance.
Why are pulley force multipliers?
Pulley are force multipliers because they expense the distance over which it operates.
Why is a pulley a force multiplier?
Why are pulley force multipliers? Pulley are force multipliers because they expand the distance over which it operates.
Can you give an example of a machine that increases speed?
You need a velocity multiplier. A common example is a bicycle wheel.
What simple machine decreases force increases distance and changes the direction of a force?
Levers, inclined planes, and compound pulleys all do that.
Do inclined planes help you use less force over a shorter distance?
It's either LESS force over a GREATER distance or MORE force over a SHORTER distance.
Different types of multipliers?
Force and Speed <--- Science
Why do toy cars go faster on inclined planes?
Because you are pushing your force to it(with your hand) while a plane its got nothing pushing it exept for gas
Is a lever inclined planes?
No. An inclined plane is simply a two-dimensional surface with a slope to it in the third dimension. A lever is a three-dimensional object which also requires a fulcrum (or leverage point) to act as a force transmitter, amplifier or attenuator.
