When you use a ramp what happens to the distance over which you exert force?

The distance is longer than the lift or the drop, but the
force you need is less than the weight of the load.

What happens when a force moves an object over a distance?
Work
What is the force you exert when using a machine?
input force/effort force In physics, the force that you apply to something over time is "work".
What is a disadvantage of the incline plane?
* effort needs to move over a greater distance
Force is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force is the definition of?
Work is applied to an object and the object is moved over a distance in the same direction of the applied force.
What is the use of force to move an object over a distance?
Work
What happens to the distance over which you exert your force?
Nothing particular happens specifically to the distance.
Explain how machines make work easier if they do not decrease the amount of work you need to do?
A machine makes work easier by changing the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or the direction in which you exert your force.
Does a lever allow a person to exert a larger force over a shorter distance?
yes
How is the wheel and axle useful?
It lightens the amount of force you have to exert to travel over a distance.
How do machines make work easier?
A machine makes work easier by changing at least one of three factors. A machine may change the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or direction in which you exert your force.
The power required to exert 1 N force over a distance of 1 m in 1 second is?
1 Watt
Happens when force moves an object over a distance?
speed
Who is greater the applied force or the force exerted by the machine?
That depends on whether the machine is designed to multiply force or distance. A machine designed to multiply distance will exert less force than was applied, and a machine designed to multiply force will exert the greater force over a shorter distance than force was applied to it. As for work, output work is always less than input work because some energy is lost in overcoming friction.
In a second class lever why must you exert input force over a greater distance?
If the input force is applied at a greater distance than the length of the effort arm is increased thereby reducing the effort.
Identify three specific situations which machines make work easier?
They make communication easier. They give people health and they make jobs easier.
Does a pulley change the direction over which you exert your force?
No it does notIt may change direction but obviosly it cannot exert you force
What happens when a force moves an object over a distance?
