Moving up an incline requires extra energy to counter the force of gravity.
Friction is the force that will decrease if the surface of the ramp is made smoother. Smooth surfaces reduce friction by allowing objects to slide more easily with less resistance.
The input force on a ramp is the force exerted by an object (such as a person or a vehicle) moving up or down the ramp. The output force is the force required to lift or lower the object on the ramp. By using a ramp, the input force is spread out over a longer distance, making it easier to move heavy objects.
A ramp gives you mechanical advantage by allowing you to exert your force over a longer distance to move an object vertically. By using a ramp, you can reduce the amount of force needed to lift an object to a certain height compared to lifting it straight up. This makes it easier to move heavy objects.
In physics, the force required to move an object up a ramp is determined by the angle of incline rather than the length of the ramp. A longer ramp may have a gentler slope, requiring less force to move an object up it, while a shorter ramp with a steeper incline may require more force. Therefore, the length of the ramp itself does not directly correlate with the force needed.
The box has three force vectors acting on it: the force of gravity, the normal force (perpendicular to the ramp), and friction (parallel to the ramp).

An Egyptian ramp is a ramp with a platform in the middle to reduce the incline of the ramp and/or to change the direction of incline.

The applied force will depend on the required force, and the angle to the ramp (or the horizontal) at which the force is applied.

Yes, utilizing a ramp will reduce the amount of force needed to lift a box by allowing for the force to be spread out over a longer distance. This is due to the mechanical advantage gained from the increased distance over which the force is applied.
A ramp exerts no force, just gravity.
Increasing the height of a ramp will make it harder to push an object up the ramp, which means the effort force required to move the object will also increase. This is because the higher ramp increases the angle of incline, causing more resistance to the force applied.
No. It reduces the amount of force required, but it does not reduce the total amount of work. In fact, due to friction, it will probably increase the total amount of work.
The steeper the angle of the ramp, the more force will be required to move an object up the ramp. This is because a steeper angle increases the component of the gravitational force that acts against the motion of the object. A shallower angle will require less force to move the object up the ramp.
