What is the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
The ratio of the length of the slope to the height
The ratio of the height to the length of the slope
The product of the length and height
The difference between the length and height
Which of the following is NOT a type of inclined plane?

How does an inclined plane make work easier?
By allowing a smaller force to be applied over a longer distance
By increasing the gravitational force
By decreasing the gravitational force
By changing the direction of the applied force
What is the relationship between the angle of an inclined plane and the force required to move an object up the plane?
As the angle increases, the force required increases
As the angle increases, the force required decreases
The angle does not affect the force required
The force required is always constant

It has no effect on the force required
It changes the direction of the force required
Which of the following is a real-world application of an inclined plane?
A wheelchair ramp
A bicycle wheel
A fishing rod
A light bulb
What is the formula for calculating the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
MA=heightlength
MA=lengthheight
MA=length×height
MA=length+height
Which of the following statements is true about inclined planes?
They allow for a smaller force to move an object over a greater distance

They change the mass of the object being moved
What happens to the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane as the slope becomes steeper?
The mechanical advantage decreases
The mechanical advantage increases
The mechanical advantage remains the same
The mechanical advantage becomes zero
Which of the following is an example of a compound machine that includes an inclined plane?

How does the length of an inclined plane affect the effort needed to lift an object?
A longer inclined plane requires less effort
A longer inclined plane requires more effort
The length does not affect the effort needed
The effort needed is always constant
