What is the importance of a ramp?
to apply less force while doing more work on an object
What is the equation for force using work?
Force that did the work = (work done) divided by (distance the force acted through)
What does a ramp reduce?
It reduces the amount of lifting force and also reduces the wind energy of all of the substances and molecules in the prototype (the item that you're moving)
Why are you doing the same amount of work lifting a box or pushing it up a long ramp?
because the long ramp decreases the force you need to lift an object, but increases the distance you must move the object
What is the advantage of using an inclined plane to lift an object is that it reduces the amount of?
The advantage to using an incline plane (ramp) is that it reduces the amount of work.
How does a ramp help to make work easier?
A ramp makes work easier by letting you elevate an object with less input force.
What is the importance of a ramp?

How an inclined plane increases the force without changing the amount of work done?
because going up a ramp takes less force
What do you need to measure the work done when you move a box up a ramp?
work= height over force w=h/f
Which change would require more force to pull the wooden block up the ramp?
A extra pair of hands would work. The more force

The advantage to using an incline plane (ramp) is that it reduces the amount of work.
A ramp is 30 meters long and 5 meters high 200 newtons of force must be applied by the mover to push a 1000 newton piano up the ramp?
What is the amount of work accomplished by the ramp? - 5000 joules What is the amount of work done by the mover? - 6000 joules What is the efficiency of the ramp? - 83%
If the input work was 1000 and the output work was 600 what was the mechanical efficiency of using the ramp?
It is output/input x 100, i.e. 60%.
How do you work out the gradiant on a ramp?
Divide the height of the ramp by the length of the ramp (rise over run).
