How can the MA of an inclined plane equal 1 ?

a)

The MA is calculated by L / H

b)

MA = L x H

c)

The height and length need to be the same number to equal 1 MA

13.
Formula used to solve for:
power = 125 W     work = ?  time= 25 sec
a)
W = f x d
b)
W = f / d
c)
W = P / t
d)
W = P x t
14.
There are six simple machines. Why do we use simple machines to do work for us?
a)
Makes the amount of work increase while force also increases.
b)
Decreases the amount of effort and friction while increasing power.
c)
Increases the work done while decreasing the force on an object.
d)
Work is easier by letting us use less mechanical effort to move objects.
15.
Solve: 
distance = ?    
force = 3N
time = 60 s  
work = 225 J
