Yes, gravity is lower the further one is away from the centre of the Earth, so it is lower at the top of a hill than the bottom.

Design a device or technique to eliminate the effect of gravitational force?

Anything that pulls an object up will cancel the gravitational force. If you go into space, gravity is negligable. You could also do the experiment in a plane which is free-fall dropping.


What is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane if it were on the moon instead of the earth?

Exactly the same. The reduction in gravitational force has no effect on M.A., which is a matter of simple geometry.


How does a plane relate to gravitational potential energy?

A plane in the air posseses gravitational potential energy or stored energy. If the pilot shuts the engine off the plane releases that energy.


Does the average speed depend on the steepness of the inclined plane?

Assuming you are asking about an object that is placed on an inclined plane and the only forces acting on it are gravity and friction; as the slope of the plane increases, more of gravitational force is applied down the plane and less of the frictional force is applied to the object up the plane. Unless there is no frictional force, until the plane reaches a certain critical slope the gravitational force will not overcome the frictional force and the object will not move, and the average speed for the object will be zero regardless of the slope of the plane (below this critical slope). As the slope increases there is an increase in the net force on the object down the plane which results in a higher acceleration down the plane, and with a higher acceleration it will reach a higher speed and so the average speed of the object down the plane will be higher. So, yes, it can be said that the average speed of an object down an inclined plane is dependant on the slope of the plane. If there are other forces involved, for example a motor, then the average speed will depend on these forces as well as the slope.


3) A plane takes off and is flying forward with 10, 000N of applied force , and experiences 10,000 N of air resistance . It has 20,000 N of gravitational force and 20, 00 N of lift ( upward ) force . Show how the forces affect the plane?

Nothing happens appearance wise as the forces are equal


The forward force from a plane's engine is?

The forward force from a plane's engine is thrust.


What force propels a jet plane?

The force of the jet engine propels a jet plane. The force of the engine pushes the exhaust gasses backward at great speed and the plane moves forward. This force propels the jet plane.


What is the effort force of a inclined plane?

the force used to push the object up the plane.


What is the reason you are not aware of gravitational force?

1) You are asleep. 2) You are in an anti-gravity machine. 3) You have left Earth's gravity behind via plane or rocket. 4) You have ingested powerful hallucigens.


The forward force from a plane's engine is called?

The forward force from a plane's engine is called THRUST.


When you walk up an inclined plane your legs supply the effort force What is the resistance force?

the resistance force is the slope of the plane, or the hypotenuse.


An upward force on a plane is called?

'Lift' is an upward force on a plane. Upward force on a bird's wings is also called 'Lift'.
