What factors change the horizontal and vertical components of the weight of an object on a ramp?
The horizontal and vertical components don't change. In fact, weight is completely vertical, and has no horizontal component at all, regardless of what the object happens to be sitting on. But the components parallel to the ramp and normal to the ramp depend on the slope of the ramp.
What is the difference between vertical and horizontal stressors?
Vertical stressors act in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the Earth, while horizontal stressors act parallel to the Earth's surface. Vertical stressors include weight of overlying material and tectonic forces, while horizontal stressors include compression or tension caused by tectonic plate movements.
What are disadvantages of a water wheel?
The biggest disadvantage of a horizontal waterwheel is that the weight of the turning wheel works the most against the current in this situation. In vertical waterwheels, the momentum of the descending parts isÊadded to by its own weight.
How do you calculate weight on an incline?
An incline does not have a weight associated with it.
How does motion in a vertical circle differ from that in a horizontal circle?
During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.During motion in a vertical circle, the force of gravity (weight of the object) is in the same direction as the motion for half the time and in the opposite direction for the rest.For a body moving in a horizontal circle, gravity is acting orthogonally to the motion at all times.
What does slope determine?
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.

What is the horizontal weight of a gallon water?
"Weight" is a number that those in the know call a "scalar" ... a number that has no direction ... which means that there's no such thing as 'horizontal' weight. The weight of a gallon of water is about 8.35 pounds. That's the force of gravity trying to pull the earth and the gallon of water together. It acts in the direction toward the center of the earth, which is the direction we call 'vertical', so there's never any part of the weight acting horizontally.
What is mechanical advantage of a inclined plane?
The forces are divided into a horizontal and a vertical component, so that you do not have to lift the weight in full directly. The disadvantage is that you get more friction, so that part of the advantage is negated.
Is the difference in mass and weight?
Mass- the amount of matter that something is made of Weight- a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an object
What is the details for the periodic table?
The vertical columns are called groups or families. The horizontal rows are called periods. A basic periodic table will give the name, chemical symbol, atomic number, and atomic weight of each element.
How much weight can a 2 x 2 angle support?
Steel? Aluminium?As a column (vertical leg) or a horizontal beam?In both cases the length and the method of fixing/supporting the ends will determine the maximum allowable load.
