What else can I help you with?
Is a rollerblade a simple machine?
It is an inclined plane.
Which simple machine is a boat trailer?
Inclined plane
How do you calculate the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
Its the reciprocal of the sine of the ramp angle. > 1 / ( sin ( ramp angle ) )
The advantage of using an inclined plane to lift an object is that it reduces the?
Force required to move the object forward.
Is a screw an example of a ramp?
No a ramp is an inclined plane while a screw is an inclined plane spinning in a spiral around a rod; the two are considered different simple machines but in a sense u could say they are the same
Can't a simple inclined plane have a mechanical advantage less than one?
No, a simple inclined plane always has a mechanical advantage of greater than or equal to 1. It reduces the force needed to lift an object by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. The mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the length of the inclined plane by the height.
Why does the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane can never be less than 1?
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the length of the inclined plane to the height it lifts a load. Since the length is always greater than the height (unless the inclined plane is vertical), the mechanical advantage is always at least 1.
How does a decrease in height affect the actual echanical advantage of the inclined plane?
Since the Mechanical Advantage of the inclined plane is inversely proportional to its height, increasing the height would lower your mechanical advantage and lowering the height would increase it.Alternately, mechanical advantage is directlyproportional to an inclined plane's length, therefore increasing the length would increase your mechanical advantage.
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.
The ideal mechanical advantage for an inclined plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the?
Ideal Mechanical Advantage for an Inclined Plane is equal to the length of the incline divided by the height of the incline.
What general statement can be made about the height of an inclined plane and it's actual and ideal mechanical advantage?
As the height of an inclined plane increases, both the actual and ideal mechanical advantage also increase. This is because the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is directly related to its slope, so a steeper incline will provide greater mechanical advantage compared to a shallower one.
Does a long gently sloped inclined plane or a short steep inclined plane have the greatest mechanical advantage?
Long gently slope inclined plane
What inclined plane is the length of the inclined plane plane divide by its height?
The slope of an inclined plane is found by dividing the rise of the plane by the run of the plane. also the ideal mechanical advantage.
What is IMA of an inclined plane?
ignoring friction or ideal mechanical advantage
What is the unit of mechanical advantage?
Simple machines, such as a lever, inclined plane, or wheel and axle, give you a mechanical advantage.You calculate the mechanical advantage of a simple machine by dividing the output force by the input force.
Can a inclined plane have a mechanical advantage of less than 1?
The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is equal to length divided by height (l/h). Therefore, if the length is less than than the height, the mechanical advantage would be less than one.
What is the ideal mechanical advantage of inclined plane?
The ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the ratio of the length of the incline to the vertical rise. It is calculated by dividing the length of the ramp by the vertical height of the ramp.
