As an inclined plane gets shorter, the angle gets steeper and the effort becomes greater.

How much effort is needed if the lenghtof the inclined plane is reduced?

More effort, since the angle will need to be increased.


How does an inclined plane reduce the forces needed to do work?

by increasing effort distance hence reducing the effort needed to work


What kind of plane is a slope that reduces effort needed to move something?

an inclined plane! atleast that's what I think


If the inclined plane is Steeper more is the effort needed to push a load up the plane?

The effort required is directly proportional to the sine of the angle of inclination.Since the sine of an angle increases with increase in angle, therefore the effort required also increases.


How does the length of effort arm affect the amount of effort needed to lift an object?

The length of the "effort arm" of the lever clearly has a great influence on the 'effort' the pusher must input to the lever in order to do the job. But in terms of the "work" done ... in the formal sense of Work as defined in Physics = (force) x (distance) ... the length of the effort arm should have no effect on the quantity of work.


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.


What is the effect on the effort force used when the length of the effort arm is decreased?

The force you are referring to is called torque. here is an example: you have 2 wrenches, one with a short handle and the other with a long handle, and 2 identical bolts. The force required for the longer wrench to turn the bolt is less than the force required for the short to turn the bolt. This is because the longer the handle the greater the Torque and therefore less force needs to be applied. summary: longer "effort arm"=more torque= less force needed shorter "effort arm"=less torque=more force needed I hope this answers your question


Was the articles of confederation a wasted effort or were they needed?

they were needed


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.


How does increasing the distance of an inclined plane effect the force needed to raise an object?

the less force is needed.


Why does the resistance of a conductor increase with its length?

Consider resistance to be like effort needed to push water through a pipe. If you have a longer pipe, you need to put in more effort to push the water through, as it has further to go. Also skinnier pipes, and pipes with more obstructions also require more effort, so have a higher resistance.


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.
