Which answer describes what is happening in the picture below?
The box is being moved to the right
The amount of force needed to move the box has changed
The direction of the force to move the box has changed
The amount of energy to move the box has changed
Which of the following statements is true based on the pulley system on your right?
The pulley system does not change the amount of force required to lift the object
The pulley system requires more force to lift the object than without a pulley system
The pulley system required force to be applied over a shorter distance
The pulley system required force to be applied over a longer distance
A student is moving two identical boxes, which answer correctly describes the amount of force used to move the two boxes?
It requires less force to lift the box straight up.
Lifting the box straight up requires no force
Pushing the box up the ramp requires less force
It requires the same amount of force to move each box
A student investigates the force need to pull a weight to the height of 0.5m using different lengths of inclined plane. Which plane will require the least amount of force to lift the weight to a height of 0.5 m?
The 30 cm inclined plane will require the least amount of force
The 50 cm inclined plane will require the least amount of force
All three inclined planes will require the same amount of force
Which machine will require the least amount of force to move an object?
Machine 2
Machine 3
Machine 4
Machine 5
What kind of simple machine is being used to lift the flag to the top of the pole?
Inclined plane
Wheel and axle
Pulley
Lever
Which of the following best explains how a ramp makes it easier to move a heavy object over a certain distance?
It changes the direction in which the object is being moved
It decreases the distance the object travels
It decreases the amount of force to move an object
It decreases the amount of work required to move the object
How does this pulley make lifting the weight easier?
Decrease the distance required to pull to move the weight
Changes the direction of force required to move the weight
Increases the speed at which you can move the weight
Decreases the force required to move the weight
If you needed to move furniture into a van, why would it be easier to use an inclined plane than to just lift the furniture into the van?
The inclined plane decreases the force of gravity that needs to be overcome.
The inclined plane decreases the amount of force needed to move the furniture.
The inclined place decreases the amount of friction present.
The inclined plane decreases the weight of the furniture.
