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.
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
If a machine was 100 percent efficient how would the AMA compare to the IMA?
At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.
What happens to the mechanical advantage of a machine if friction is reduced through the use of oil or some other means?
Wear and tear of moving parts would be reduced. Less energy would be needed to run the machine, as there would be less friction to be overcome. A well lubricated machine is more efficient than a neglected machine with unoiled parts.
How would the mechanical advantage of a dart change if the tip was longer and thiner?
try to do by your self
What is the mechanical advantage of a movable pully?
for one movable pulley you would get a mechanical advantage of 2

Why is the actual mechanical advantage of an inclined plane alwaysess than the theoretical mechanical advantage?
This is because the actual mechanical advantage is the actual calculation found after dividing the effort force by the output force. Ideal mechanical advantage is what many people would call an estimate. When estimating mechanical advantage, the numbers are always rounded. This makes actual mechanical advantage less.

What is the mechanical advantage of ciombined puley?
If I would be knowing, I would have not asked.
Which unit would you use to measure the length of a bicycle?
How much a bicycle what? Weighs, cost, take up space?
What is meant by the term mechanical advantage?
A lever is a very useful tool that lets us exchange weight for distance. For example (theoretically) if you had to move a 200 pound sack into a car, but couldn't lift it, you could divide it into 8 parts, each being 25 pounds, and move each one individually into the car. It would be easy, however it would take more distance (lifting into the car 8 times instead of 1)
What will increase the actual mechanical advantage of a machine?
Common mechanisms for obtaining mechanical advantage would include such as multiple pulleys, hydraulic systems, gears, and levers.

At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.
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.
Would you rather use kilograms or ounces to measure a bicycle?
I would rather use Kg.
What unit would you use to measure the distance traveled on a bicycle?
usually miles
