How does using a ramp make work easier when loading a piano onto a truck three feet above the ground?

It allows a smaller force to be applied over a longer distance.

It allows a larger force to be applied over a shorter distance.

It allows a larger force to be applied over a longer distance.

It allows a smaller force to be applied over a shorter distance.

Which statement describes how a machine can help make work easier?

It can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance over which force is applied.

It can increase the amount of work performed if the output force is in the same direction as the input force.

It can apply a greater output force over a greater distance compared to the input force and distance.

It can increase the distance over which output force acts by applying less output force than input force.

What is needed for work to be done?

A force must cause an object to move along the same direction as the force.

A force must push on an object without moving it.

A force must pull on an object without moving it.

A force must act on an object while an equal force acts oppositely on the object.

Adita lifts a book from the floor, carries it across the room, and places it on a high shelf. When is Adita doing work on the book?

She does work as she picks up the book and as she lifts it to the shelf.

She does work on the book at no time during this process.

She does work only while she carries the book across the room.

She does work from the moment she touches the book until she lets it go.
