If one is disabled and forced to use a wheelchair, that person knows all the troubles of a wheelchair. A wheelchair is a life saver though. If wheelchairs were never invited, disabled people would be stuck at home with no mode of transportation. The wheelchair allows the disabled to move around freely. Moving around does pose its own problems.
If one has ever been in a wheelchair or seen someone in a wheelchair, it is easy to imagine many difficulties the wheelchair user would experience. If a door frame was too narrow, it would be impossible for the user to get through. They would be stuck outside. Wheelchairs are also very difficult to maneuver on surfaces other than concrete or carpet. The wheels will get stuck in ruts in the grass and make it impossible to move. The wheels also will get full of grass and mud. The user will probably not have the strength to maneuver out of it. The greatest problem facing a wheelchair user is the stairs. Stairs are omnipresent in society today. Wherever one goes, stairs are seen and used. They are an easy way to get to another level. In a building setting, many buildings have elevators installed. With these elevators, wheelchair users have a way to change levels. If a building has stairs up to it though, the user has very few options. If it is an adult, it would likely be impossible to just pick up the wheelchair and person and carry them. A wonderful invention has been invented to solve this tricky conundrum, the wheelchair ramp. The wheelchair ramp is based on a very simple machine, the inclined plane. The inclined plane is a flat surface on an angle. After much protest from wheelchair users, places became required to include wheelchair ramps next to stairs. The wheelchair ramps are at a very slight angle, allowing the user to get up to the next level. They often have turns to help reach a higher level with a smaller angle of elevation. These wonderful inventions are celebrated by wheelchair users all over the world.

What are the sources of errors in a ramp experiment?
Some sources of errors in a ramp experiment include inaccuracies in measuring the height of the ramp, friction between the ramp and the object moving on it, air resistance affecting the motion, variations in the surface of the ramp, and errors in timing the motion of the object.
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes, the height of a ramp can affect the speed of a marble. The higher the ramp, the more potential energy the marble has, which can be converted into kinetic energy as it rolls down the ramp. Therefore, a higher ramp may result in a faster speed for the marble.
How does the steepness of a ramp affect a ball?
The steepness of a ramp affects how quickly a ball will accelerate. A steeper ramp will result in a faster acceleration of the ball compared to a less steep ramp. The steeper the ramp, the more gravity will act on the ball, causing it to roll faster.
What describes how the IMA of this ramp compares with the IMA of the ramp that has a height of 1m?
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of a ramp is calculated as length divided by height. Therefore, the IMA of a ramp with greater height will be smaller than the IMA of a ramp with a height of 1m. This means that a taller ramp will require less effort but over a longer distance to overcome gravitational force compared to a ramp with a height of 1m.
What is a ramp that gives you access to an expressway?
An on-ramp is a road or lane that allows vehicles to enter an expressway or highway. It typically has a merging lane that vehicles use to reach the desired speed before merging into the flow of traffic.
What is an Egyptian 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.
What is ramp up?

How do you work out the gradiant on a ramp?
Divide the height of the ramp by the length of the ramp (rise over run).
Is luan the best wood for a skateboard mini ramp?

Where can one perform skate ramp?
One can perform skate ramp at a local skate park. It is also possible to perform skate ramp if someone purchases a skate ramp. This way, one can privately perform skate ramp.
Which has a greater mechianical advantage short ramp and a long ramp both reach a height of 1m?
The long ramp.
