How does the inclined plane do your works faster and easier?
The reason that inclined planes allow us to reduce the force necessary to move items is because the work required to do both (Work = Force x Distance) is the same. When pushing up an inclined plane, the pusher only has to counteract the component of gravity that wants to slide the object back down the plane, instead of fighting against the entire force of gravity. Using an inclined plane decreases the force necessary to accomplish the task but increases the distance required for force against the vertical component. (An angled plane shortens the distance of travel overall).
What is a kite string attached to?
Kite string comes on wooden dowels, about half an inch to an inch in diameter, with the string wrapped around the dowel. One end of the string is attached to the kite, while the other end is attached to the dowel that you hold while flying the kite. The dowel allows you to easily release more string to let the kite go higher, or to reel the kite back in to you.
How does an inclined plane change the way work is done?
An incline plane allows less effort (pushing force) to be used to move a weight to a higher level without lifting straight up. You have to push it a longer distance, so ideally, the same amount of work is done, but really, due to friction more work is done. Maybe you can't lift a 500 pound barrel, but you can roll it up an inclined plane into the back of a truck.
What is a back to back stem and leaf chart?
A back to back stem and leaf chart consists of two stem and leaf charts, usually measuring related variables. The two charts share the same stem; in one chart the leaves go from right, at the stem, to left while in the other chart the leaves go from left to right as "normal".
Why are planes wings different shapes when looking from above?
Wings that are straight-edged are stable at low airspeeds. However, they produce a lot of drag and limit the airspeed. Wings that are swept back have less drag and are capable of greater speed, but they are unstable at low speed.
What is a simple machine that consists of two inclined planes placed back-to-back?
It is a wedge :D
How is a inclined plane and a wedge different?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
How is a wedge different from and inclined plane?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
How is a wedge different from a inclined plane?
A wedge is 2 inclined planes, back to back.
What are inclined planes placed back to back?
It is a wedge.
How does a wedge differ from a inclined plane?
A wedge has two inclined planes back-to-back that are not at a right angle
How does a wedge differ from an inclined plane?
A wedge is a type of inclined plane with two sloping sides meeting at a sharp edge. It is used to split objects apart, while an inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted, reducing the amount of force needed to move an object up or down. Inclined planes are used to raise or lower objects over a distance, whereas wedges are designed to separate objects or to hold things in place.
What are some examples of inclined planes in your house?
examples of inclined planes are your roof a lamp shade the beck of a t.v. a ramp and the back of your couch
What kind of simple machine is a ramp?
inclined plainA ramp is an example of an inclined plane(:A ramp is an inclined planeincline planeA ramp belongs under the simple machine category of inclined planes. Inclined planes are sloping or slanting in figure which allows less effort to be exerted or applied, making work easier. The ramp has one end raised up to help raise an object, rather pushing a certain object than lifting it. Other examples of inclined planes other than the ramp are the stairs. When two inclined planes are put back to back, another simple machine called the wedge.
Can planes be perpendicular to each other?
no planes are not perpendicular to each other because for air resistance the planes are designed in a such way that air is avoided to back side and they are inclined to each other.
What is the difference between a regular machine and a simple machine?
A regular machine typically consists of multiple parts working together to perform a specific task, while a simple machine is a basic mechanical device that helps to make work easier by multiplying or changing the direction of force. Simple machines include tools like levers, pulleys, and inclined planes.
What simple machine is on the back of a truck?
