∙ 9y agoWork: don't care about time (that's power)
frictionless means don't care about length of plane
only care about height and mass -- figure 9.8 m/s*s for acceleration of gravity
F=ma
F times distance (up) = work
good luck

The reason that inclined planes allow us to reduce the force necessary to move items is because the work required to do both (Work = Force x Distance) is the same. When pushing up an inclined plane, the pusher only has to counteract the component of gravity that wants to slide the object back down the plane, instead of fighting against the entire force of gravity. Using an inclined plane decreases the force necessary to accomplish the task but increases the distance required for force against the vertical component. (An angled plane shortens the distance of travel overall).
Period of a Periodic Function is the horizontal distance required for the graph of that periodic function to complete one cycle.
An inclined plane allows an object to be lifted through a vertical distance using less force than is required to lift the object straight up. The shallower the angle of the inclined plane, the less force is required to raise the object. The inclined plane is a very simple machine that offers a mechanical advantage. Although the force needed to raise the object is reduced, the force needs to move through a longer distance. Therefore, it takes the same amount of energy to raise the object . In fact, as there is always an amount of friction, it will actually take more energy to lift that simply lifting it straight up. The most common example of an inclined plane is a ramp used to raise vehicles to a higher level.
A vertical and a horizontal scales are needed.
The work done in moving a body up a rough inclined plane is equal to the force required to overcome friction multiplied by the distance the body is moved vertically. This work is calculated using the formula: Work = Force x Distance x cos(theta), where theta is the angle of the inclined plane with the horizontal.
increasing the distance
Yes, an inclined plane increases the distance over which a force is applied in exchange for reducing the amount of force required to move an object vertically. This allows for easier movement of objects by spreading the force over a longer distance.
An inclined plane reduces the amount of force needed to lift an object by increasing the distance over which the object is lifted. By spreading the work over a longer distance, the inclined plane allows the force required to be decreased, making it easier to move the object to a higher elevation.
An inclined plane reduces the amount of force required to lift an object by spreading the work out over a longer distance. This allows the force needed to be applied more gradually and with less effort.

The formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is MA = L / H, where L is the length of the inclined plane and H is the height. The formula for the force required to move an object up an inclined plane is F = W / L, where W is the weight of the object.

An inclined plane reduces the force needed to do work by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. By spreading the work over a longer distance, the force required is reduced. This makes it easier to lift or move objects along the inclined plane compared to lifting them vertically.
To increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane, you can increase the length of the plane or decrease the angle of incline. This will make it easier to move objects up the incline by reducing the force required.
We use inclined planes to make it easier to lift objects by reducing the amount of force required. The inclined plane allows us to spread the work of lifting an object over a longer distance, which reduces the force needed to move the object. Additionally, inclined planes can also be used to change the direction of a force.
An disadvantage of using an inclined plane is that it can increase the distance over which work is done compared to moving an object directly upward. This means that more effort or force may be required to move an object up an inclined plane compared to lifting it straight up.
