If you mean using a longer incline to reach the same height, the answer is no. Energy is the ability to do work. Work = Force x distsance.
A longer incline will require less force, but since the distance is greater the total energy stays the same.

How does increasing the wavelength by 50 percent affect the frequency of a wave on a rope?
it decrease the wave length
The ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
Does increasing the margin of error decrease the length of the confidence interval?
It depends on whether it is the Type I Error or the Type II Error that is increased.
How steep is the Monongahela incline?
The Monongahela incline has a height of 400 feet, a length of 793 feet and a grade of 58%.
How do you decrease the size of a circle?
Decrease The Length of The Radius
When you increase the length of your workout what are you increasing?
Length is measured in time. So, you are increasing the time of the workout.
Does the length of an inclined plane affect final velocity. If the planes are different lengths but all the same height and ending at the same point?
(ignoring friction)yes, it does, the rate of acceleration is tied to the incline angle, so assuming the incline angle remains the same, lengthening the incline will result in a higher terminal velocity. v^2 = (u^2) + (2*a*s)if a mass falls the same vertical distance from rest, regardless of incline angle, its terminal velocity will be the same, converting potential energy (m*g*h), into kinetic energy (0.5m*v^2)
What is the mechanical advantage of an incline plane?
MA of inclined plane:Distance moved parallel to slope / vertical distance moved:Reciprocal of sin of incline angle (from horizontal):1 / ( sin ( incline angle ) )
What is meant by incline of 1 in 5?
That means that for every 5 [lengths] forward along the level, the incline rises or drops 1 [length]. [Length] can be any unit of distance. This can also be called a "20% grade" . . . Because 1/5 = 0.2 = 20% . It also tells you that the incline makes an angle of 11.3° with the level, because 0.2 is the tangent of 11.3° .
How does a decrease in height affect the actual echanical advantage of the inclined plane?
Since the Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is inversely proportional to its height, increasing the height would lower your mechanical advantage and lowering the height would increase it.Alternately, mechanical advantage is directlyproportional to an inclined plane's length, therefore increasing the length would increase your mechanical advantage.
What type of electromagnetic radiation has the lowest energy?
You have gamma rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, light rays, infra red rays, microwaves and radio waves in increasing order of wave length and and decreasing order of frequencies. Out of which radio waves have lowest energy. Longer the wave length, lower is the energy.
How does the type of radioactivity affect the length of the half life?
Different types of radioactivity have different amounts of energy and this directly impacts the half life. More energy will decrease the half life because it quickly gives off the unstable energy.
