How a mechanical advantage of a ramp changes as the ramp becomes longer?
The Mechanical advantage becomes smaller decreasing the amount of work that needs to be done. It will take less effort to lift the object or load
If a block and tackle is a simple machine What mechanical advantage does it give the user and what does the user have to give up in exchange?
The mechanical advantage is that the force applied increases but that is compensated by the fact that the rope or chain needs to be moved through a greater distance.

Does workman's comp pay for a wheelchair and all other needs for daily living?
Workman's comp does pay for a wheelchair and other needs for daily living. A person is entitled to unlimited medical treatment for work injury.
Would a short or long ramp have a greater mechanical advantage?
There is a mechanical advantage in using a long, gently sloping ramp than a short steep ramp. If you want to test this remember what goes up must come down and a long ramp gives you more time to react
What should the mechanical advantage be for optimal throwing distance?
To achieve maximum optimal throwing distance, the maximum velocity of the ball needs to be at the exact moment of release. The best launch range needs to be at approximately 45 degrees for the highest level of travel.
Why do you us mechanical energy?
An example is, if you get on a bus, it needs mechanical energy to go to its destination.
What is the advantage to using 2 pulleys at the same time?
A single pulley normally gives no mechanical advantage: it changes the direction of the force required.With 2 pulleys the rope or cable is looped around both so that there are several lengths of it pulling the mass. If there are k such strands, each one bears 1/k of the total mass so (if you ignore friction) there is a mechanical advantage of k.____________________________________________The mechanical advantage of two pulleys mounted in a block and tackle is twice the applied force. The lead rope needs to have half the force applied to move the same load, but twice the distance must be moved on the lead rope such that the same total force is applied to the load.
What are all mechanical waves?
There are two types of waves, mechanical and non-mechanical waves. A mechanical wave needs some sort of medium, like an earthquake to move the water.
