Distance,
You would have to use more energy, force and strength to pull something less distance
if it is up an inclined plane.
================================
Answer #2:
The whole idea of an inclined plane is to give you the ability to raise a load to the same
height with less force than you'd need if you had to lift it. That's why, if you're smart,
you roll a barrel up a ramp instead of lifting it straight up to the dock. In return for using
less force, you have to roll it a longer distance to reach the same height.
Energy . . .
Same, regardless of how you get it up there. Depends only on the difference in height.
Force . . .
Less needed if you use an inclined plane. That's why they're useful.
Distance . . .
More if you use an inclined plane. That's the trade-off.
Strength . . .
Less required when you use an inclined plane.
If you had more strength, you'd just lift it and be done with it.

What are some force measures that equal an impulse of 10 units?
Force = 10, time = 1Force = 5, time = 2Force = 20, time = 1/2
What are two things determine the amount of force it will take to move an object?
They are Mass and Acceleration. Mass being the weight of an object such as 10 pounds, and Acceleration being how fast you want to move it such as 1 meter per second squared.The formula is represented using F=mxa. Whether it's uppercase or lowercase does matter.Acceleration (in metric countries) is usually measured in meters per second squared show as m/s^2Force is measured in newtons represented as N.Hopefully this helped
What is the most powerful force in existence?
The most powerful force in existence is conciousness. Not only can nothing else be proven, but ones own mind controls reality thus controlling everything. This makes it the most powerful froce in existence.
What is the mass of mercury in metric tons?
-- If you're asking about mercury the element, then it depends on how muchof it there is, and where it's located. On or near the surface of the Earth, eachkilogram of mercury the element weighs about 9.8 newtons (2.205 pounds).-- If you're asking about Mercury the planet, then its mass is 3.3022 x 1023 kilograms.That's about 0.055 as much as Earth's mass.To answer how much it weighs is a real problem. The weight of anything depends onwhat other mass is in the neighborhood, because weight is just the force of gravityattracting two masses toward each other. One mass all by itself, or far away fromany other mass, weighs nothing.Here's an idea: The force of gravity between Mercury and the Sun is what keepsthe planet in orbit around the Sun, so how about if I calculate that force for you ?Mercury's mass . . . 3.3022 x 1023 kilogramsSun's mass . . . 1.9891 x 1030 kilogramsDistance between Mercury and the Sun (average) . . . 57.9 million kilometersF = G MmercMsun/R2G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10-11 newton-meter2/kilogram2Force = (6.67 x 10-11) x (3.3022 x 1023) x (1.9891 x 1030) / (57.9 x 109) 2Force = 1.307 x 1022 NewtonsThat's the same force as about 2.938 x 1021 pounds, or 1.469 x 1018 tons,dragging Mercury the planet toward the Sun.Of course, it's also attracted toward every other speck of mass in the universe atthe same time, including each of the other planets in the solar system. I'll do justone more for you, and calculate the gravitational force that pulls Mercury and theEarth together.Earth's mass . . . 5.9722 x 1024 kilogramsClosest together that Mercury and Earth can ever be . . . 77.3 million kilometersMaximum possible gravitational force between Earth and Mercury = 2.201 x 1016 Newtons.(4.949 x 1015 pounds, 2.474 x 1012 tons)That's about 0.0000017 as much as the force between Mercury and the Sun !===========================Now that I read back over this response, I'm thinking that maybe the most importantlesson in the whole thing is how valuable scientific notation is when you're throwingbig numbers around.
