I don't actually know what an inclined plane is. But I know what a truck is.

How does an inclined plane reduce the amount of only force needed?

An inclined plane is a surface that is not horizontal (level), with one end higher than the other. Pushing a broken down car is much easier and takes less effort downhill, than to push the same car uphill.


Function of inclined plane?

The function of an inclined plane is actually quite simple. This inclined plan is often used to transport items up or down much like a ramp.

What is an inclined plane used for?

It is a simple machine which can be used to apply a relatively weaker force over a longer distance instead of a much greater force over a short, direct distance.


How much effort is needed if the length of the inclined plane is shorter?

As an inclined plane gets shorter, the angle gets steeper and the effort becomes greater.


How does a inclined plane makes work easier?

Like any simple machine, it spreads the work over a greater distance. For example, if you want to raise a load five feet, by using a 30° inclined plane, you spread the same work over ten feet, so only half as much force is needed.


How much force is used to push a 250 n box up an inclined plane 12 m long?

To calculate the force needed to push the box up the inclined plane, you need to consider both the weight of the box acting downwards and the component of the weight parallel to the incline. You would use the formula: Force = Weight * sin(angle), where the weight of the box is 250 N and the angle of the incline can be calculated using trigonometry (angle = arctan(height/length)).


Why is a ladder an inclined plane?

It usually form an angle of 90 on resting on any vertical surface


How much force will it take to push or pull the 400 grams aalong an inclined plane?

Not enough information. That would depend on the angle of inclination, the coefficient of friction, and whether you are pushing it up or down the plane. Also on gravity, but that can be assumed to be more or less constant, at about 9.8 N/kg.


How do inclined planes make life easier?

An inclined plane makes life How_does_an_inclined_plane_make_your_life_easierbecause it doesn't require as much effort as pushing it without an incline would.
