INCLINED PLANE QUIZ (SIMPLE MACHINES POOL)FULLY SOLVED.

Describe an inclined plane. a simple machine that consists of a sloping surface connecting a lower elevation to a higher elevation True or false: An inclined plane is one of six types of simple machines. true Simple machines that are variations of the inclined plane include the a) screw. b) lever. c) wedge. d) two of the above d (a and c) Examples of inclined planes include a) ramps. b) playground slides. c) ladders. d) all of the above d What work does an inclined plane do? make it easier to move objects to a higher elevation Why does it take less force to move an object to a higher elevation when you use an inclined plane? The sloping surface of the inclined plane supports part of the weight of the object as it moves up the slope The _____ of a machine is the factor by which it multiplies the force applied to the machine. mechanical advantage True or false: Mechanical advantage is the ratio of input force to output force. false The mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is always a) less than 1. b) equal to 1. c) greater than 1. d) equal to zero. c True or false: The more gradual the slope of an inclined plane, the greater its mechanical advantage is. true
