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).

How does a inclined plane works?
it is a slanted something that's makes lifting things easier by sliding them to where you need them to be.
What is the distance between (-4 11) and (-4 -23) on a coordinate plane?
It works out as 2
What is a line in the same plane that does not share a common point?
Your economy of expression works to obfuscate your meaning, but I think you may be referring to a 'parallel' line.
What is the distance between the points (45) and (1013) on a coordinate plane?
If you mean points of (4, 5) and (10, 13) then the distance works out as 10
Why is it easier to go down a slope than up a slope?
Gravity helps you move down the slope but works against you on the way up.

How does an incline plane works?
an inclined plane works because greater distance but less force.
How does the inclined plane work?
It works like a ramp.
How does inclined plane work?
it works because it clever
What tipe of simple machine is a roof of a house?
It is a slope or inclined plane. It is also referred as a ramp. Normally a roof would not act as a ramp because it is not on ground level; however its shape and usage works as an inclined plane.
How information and communication technology affects your community?
it makes our works faster and easier.
How does an inclined plane reduce the forces needed to do work?
by increasing effort distance hence reducing the effort needed to work
Why was germx made?
It's easier than using soap & it kills more bacteria than soap & it works faster.
How the laws of motion important in your daily life?
It is important because it makes life easier. It also makes our works faster
How is wedge like an inclined plane?
They are both used to do work perpendicular to the applied force. When an object moves horizontally on an inclined plane, it also moves up. The same principle works with a wedge. An axe head is an example of a wedge. Let's say an axe is swung into a piece of firewood. It is driven down into the firewood, but the wedged shape of an axe causes the wood to split apart towards the side

Does it take the same amount of force to move a heavy box and light box up the same inclined plane?
Yes
