What happens to force when the height of the incline plane is reduced?

As the height of the incline plane is reduced, the gravitational force acting on the object decreases. This, in turn, reduces the component of the force acting parallel to the incline, resulting in a lower force required to move the object up the incline.


Does the direction of the force change in an incline plane?

Yes, in an inclined plane, the force has both a component parallel to the incline (the gravitational force) and a component perpendicular to the incline (the normal force). The normal force always acts perpendicular to the surface, while the gravitational force acts parallel to the incline.


How does the angle of an incline plane affect the force needed to move and object?

The steeper the incline plane, the greater the force required to move an object up the incline. This is because the component of the force needed to overcome gravity acting against the object's weight on the incline becomes larger as the angle increases. A shallower incline requires less force to move the object up it.


Which is easier using a short inclined plane or using a long not so steep incline plane?

Using a short inclined plane is generally easier than using a long not so steep inclined plane. A shorter inclined plane requires less force to move an object up the incline compared to a longer, less steep incline. The shorter distance also means less work is needed to overcome friction and gravity.
