How do you increase the efficiency of pushing a concrete block up a wooden ramp?
Reduce the friction of it and the ramp, for example, mounting it on wheels.
If a ramp were coated with a smoother surface the ramp and efficiency would .?
The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.
What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp What is the mechanical advantage of a ramp standing straight up?
The mechanical Advantage is FORCE TIMES DISTANCE
What is ramp voltage?
Ramp voltage is a voltage that can be steadily increasing or decreasing.
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.
How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increase the height of the ramp but not its lenght?
The effort needed would increase.
What does increasing the slope of the ramp do to the IMA?
Increase the IMA
How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increase the height of the ramp but not its length?
The input force would increase as the height of the ramp increased. It wouldn't matter the distance. Ask me another one.
What will happen to the effort force if the height of a ramp is increase?
More force will be required to push an object along the ramp.
What will lengthening a ramp do to its ideal mechanical advantage?
Increase the advantage.
How do you increase the efficiency of pushing a concrete block up a wooden ramp?
Reduce the friction of it and the ramp, for example, mounting it on wheels.
How do you stop a toy car from going down a ramp?
Either decrease the slope of the ramp, increase the friction on the axels of the car, or make the tires stick to the ramp in some fashion.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
the formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divide by the height.
Did the height of the ramp increase the distance the car rolled?
if the ramp forms a very steep gradient, definately the car will roll for a longer distance. On the contrary, if the gradient formed by the ramp is gentle, then it will roll for a shorter distance
When you increase the height of a ramp which increases the angle does the efficiency for kinetic energy increase of decrease?
The energy efficiency increases as the angle increases.
How can you decrease the effort force needed to push a weight to the top of the ramp?
Simply oil the ramp. Although you may not want to, because you will have to push up on an oily ramp, so you will slide down, and so will the crate. --An AP Physics Student Bored in Study Hall
How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increased the height of the ramp but not it's length?
The input force would increase as the height of the ramp increased. It wouldn't matter the distance. Ask me another one.
