While, if the hill is 90 degrees, then it is a cliff. That is to say, that you are not receiving any "help" from the 90 degree hill. You are just lifting the object straight up. Whereas the 20 degree hill provides a ramp.

How does adding weight to an object affect its ability to move?

Adding weight to an object can make it harder to move because the increased weight creates more resistance against the force needed to move it. This can require more effort or force to overcome the added weight and move the object.


What will happen to an object at rest if it is pushed but there is large frictional force acting on the object?

It will stay at rest.


Does mass affect the movementof an object?

Yes. The heavier it is the harder it is to move or if you throw it the less amount of time it will be in the air for. C.Burgess


Why is friction greatest when an object is stationary?

Because the frictional force must be greater than forces that would cause the object to move. Example: a car parked on a slope does not move despite the force of gravity acting to pull it down the hill. Why? Because the frictional forces are greater than the forces of gravity.


What makes an object move?

The force of gravity acts on an object if it's on a hill. if it is not then it takes another force, such as a push or pull, to move the object.


How does friction affect the amount of torque required to move an object?

Friction increases the amount of torque required to move an object. This is because friction creates resistance between the object and the surface it is moving on, making it harder to overcome and requiring more torque to initiate and maintain movement.


What force makes it harder to move things?

Friction makes it harder to move things.


What kind of energy does a skier have at the top of a hill?

A skier at the top of a hill has potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the skier begins to move down the hill.


How does friction affect an object's movement?

Friction opposes the motion of an object, reducing its speed or causing it to come to a stop. The amount of friction depends on the surfaces in contact and the force pressing them together. More friction means it's harder for an object to move.


Why is it harder to walk up a hill than on level ground?

Walking up a hill requires your muscles to work against gravity, leading to more effort and energy expenditure compared to walking on level ground. The incline of the hill increases the vertical lifting component of walking, which adds additional resistance and makes it more difficult to move forward.


What is the resistance force walking up the hill?

The resistance force when walking up a hill is the force acting opposite to the direction of motion, mainly due to gravity pulling you downward and air resistance pushing against you. It makes it harder to move uphill because you have to work against these forces to overcome the resistance and move upwards.


Why would a streamlined object be able to move faster than an object that wasn't?

Because when an object is streamlined it becomes smoother so the air becomes weaker and the object becomes stronger to move, but if the object is not streamlined it becomes slower because the air resistance is holding it back so its harder to move with a certain speed. +++ Not quite. The air does not become "weaker", nor does the object become "stronger" to move. The second part is right, and can also be stated as streamlining reduces the air resistance acting on it so reducing the force needed to move it at any given speed.
