The inclined plane was used by ancients, so no one is credited with "discovering" or "inventing" it. Ancient peoples used a "ramp" to raise things to a higher elevation, whether it was in pyramid building (or the construction of other structures), or just traveling a route. Ancient trade routes that force a traveler to gain altitude offer the so-called switchback to allow a gradual increase in elevation. This makes it easier for people and pack animals to get up over mountain barriers, and it is a "natural" application of the inclined plane. Pyramids were very awesome thanks to this "ramp"
The inclined plane was used by prehistoric peoples. Though they did not understand it as we do, they knew what could be accomplished with it. In this light, the inclined plane was not "invented" by anyone. Only later as our knowledge of science grew did we come to "tag" this simple machine with the name by which it is now known.
No, a car is not an example of an inclined plane. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted or slanted, like a ramp. A car is a vehicle that moves on wheels and is not considered an inclined plane.
No, a broom is not an inclined plane. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted, while a broom is a tool with bristles used for sweeping.
No, a car is not an inclined plane. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted at an angle, while a car is a vehicle used for transportation.
No, a ladder is not an inclined plane. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted, while a ladder consists of a series of steps or rungs for climbing up or down.

The inclined plane is a simple machine. Simple machines were invented because they allow people to do more work in easier ways.
The inclined plane is one of several simple machines that have been known to us since ancient times. No way to know where it was first used and who invented it. The inclined plane was already well known by the time of the ancient Egyptians (3000b.c.e.)
Yes, a hammer is a inclined plane. It's head, is the inclined plane.
a hatchet is a inclined plane
It is a plane, and it is inclined.
its a 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!
Archimedes invented the six simple machines.
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.
an inclined plane can be use as ramp
No. There is no pivot in an inclined plane.
