Would a steep or a long gradual incline make the job of pushing a heavy object easier?
yes it would.
Does an object gain energy when work is done on the object?
If you push a round heavy object up an incline it has gained energy based on the distance and the height of the incline, at rest at the bottom the potential engery was a factor of its mass, movement from point A at the bottom to point B at the top gave it energy that change from potential to kinetic when released at the top to roll back down.

Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Who'll travel faster heavy or light object?
The results will vary, depending on the specific situation.
Would a steep incline or a long gradual incline make the job of pushing a heavy object easier?
dude, think before you ask a question. if you had to push a 500 pound wheel up a steep hill would it be easy? of course not. so no, a steep incline or a long gradual incline would not make the job of pushing a heavy object easier. sometimes i am amazed at peoples stupidity.

Why a heavy object does not falle faster than a light object?
When heavy objects roll down something, fricition is involved. Friction is made by the rubbing of one thing against the other. Try rubbing your hands together reallly fast. Do your hands feel warm? Heavy objects have more friction, which slows down the heavy object. Lighter objects have less friction which cause it to run faster.
Surely an object that is heavy and aero-dynamic would fall faster?
If there is an atmosphere - yes. In a vacuum - no.

If sound travels faster through solid materials then Why doesn't snow make sound noisier?
Because it is light not heavy and lands slowly
Use radical in a sentence?
the gravitional pull from the heavy object was making it fall to the ground faster and at a more radical speed
How long in seconds would it take for an object to fall 120 meters?
depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.
