Examples are ramps, such as those used by movers carrying heavy objects out of a moving truck, or a sloped road or hill, or even a windshield, funnel, or slide that have two ends of opposite height

∙ 15y agoSorry I don't have a picture but here's a description. Maybe you can draw your own. Take any flat object; board , window pane, table top etc. The flat surface is a plane. Now imagine tilting it. When it makes an angle with the horizonal it is "inclined". So any flat surface tilted from horizontal is an "inclined plane". Most physics problems that refer to an inclined plane are talking about a smooth rectangular board tilted at some angle. Like if someone took away the stairs to your front door so you lay down a board to walk up. The tilted board (strictly speaking the surface of the tilted board) would be an inclined plane.

Are stairs an inclined plane?
YeS stairs are an inclined plane
Is what way is a screw similar to an inclined plane?
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
What simple machine is a staircase?
an inclined plane. Take out the steps on a staircase. It looks like a line that goes up at an angle right? That's basically what in inclined plane is. It is a basic function that exerts smaller amounts of energy over a longer period of time. In simpler terms, it makes going upstairs easier than climbing a ladder to the upper floor.

Why is a ramp a n inclined plane?
A ramp is an inclined plane because an inclined plane is a set of a surface set at an angle that is not a right angle. In which a ramp is an inclined plane!
What does a inclined plane have to do with a screw?
The thread running around the screw is an inclined plane. If you were to straighten it out, it would be an inclined plane. The screw itself can be considered a combination of wedge and inclined plane.

No, A screw is not an inclined plane
Are stairs an inclined plane?
YeS stairs are an inclined plane
Is a lever an example of an inclined plane?
No. There is no pivot in an inclined plane.
Uses of inclined plane?
an inclined plane can be use as ramp
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.
Is what way is a screw similar to an inclined plane?
A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
