m2 SOME MORE INCLINED PLANES

Which of the following is always true of simple machines?

• They increase the work inputted

• They decrease the work inputted

• They always increase the distance over which the effort is applied

• The work put in and the work out are the same.

What is the definition of the Ideal Mechanical Advantage?

• A number that tells you how difficult it is to control a machine.

• A number that tells you how many moving parts a machine has

• A number that tells you how much more difficult a machine will make your work

• A number that tells you how much easier a machine will make your work

An inclined plane decreases effort force by increasing what?

• time

• distance

• output force

• input force

Which of the following formulae give the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?

• D/C

• A/B

• C

• D X A

X represents the weight of the load. How would you calculate the weight using the other variables?

• 12 / (3/9)

• (3/9) x 12

• (9/3) x 12

• 12 / (9/3)

What is the ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) of this inclined plane? (enter value only)
