by increasing effort distance hence reducing the effort needed to work

What forces are action forces for a block on an inclined plane?
gravity and potential energy
How does an inclined plane reduce the amount of only force needed?
An inclined plane is a surface that is not horizontal (level), with one end higher than the other. Pushing a broken down car is much easier and takes less effort downhill, than to push the same car uphill.
Are stairs an inclined plane?
YeS stairs are an inclined plane
Is what way is a screw similar to an inclined plane?
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
What simple machine is a staircase?
an inclined plane. Take out the steps on a staircase. It looks like a line that goes up at an angle right? That's basically what in inclined plane is. It is a basic function that exerts smaller amounts of energy over a longer period of time. In simpler terms, it makes going upstairs easier than climbing a ladder to the upper floor.
What is the purpose of a inclined plane with a pulley?
To reduce the amount of force needed to carry objects into the truck k12
How would the amount of force that is needed to put the load up the inclined plane be reduced?
Reduce the friction
Does an inclined plane reduce work?
Yes.
What forces are action forces for a block on an inclined plane?
gravity and potential energy
How is a edge related to an incline plane?
In geometry an inclined plane would be infinite and so would not have and edge. And edge does not need an inclined plane. In school mechanics (physics or mathematics), an inclined plane is often used to study forces. But in almost all cases the edges of the inclined plane are "out-of-bounds".
What is the primary function of an inclined plane?
The main function of an inclined plane is to decrease the work needed to push an object at an angle uphill.
What forces effect a car rolling down an inclined plane?
gravity and friction
How much effort is needed if the length of the inclined plane is shorter?
As an inclined plane gets shorter, the angle gets steeper and the effort becomes greater.
How does an inclined plane reduce the amount of only force needed?
An inclined plane is a surface that is not horizontal (level), with one end higher than the other. Pushing a broken down car is much easier and takes less effort downhill, than to push the same car uphill.
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.
How does increasing the distance of an inclined plane effect the force needed to raise an object?
the less force is needed.
What kind of plane is a slope that reduces effort needed to move something?
an inclined plane! atleast that's what I think
