Which simple machine is an inclined plane ised to push objects apart?
Wedge A+
How are a wedge and a inclined plane different?
A wedge is used to 'push' something apart such as wood. An inclined plane is basically a ramp.
What is the primary function of an inclined plane?
The main function of an inclined plane is to decrease the work needed to push an object at an angle uphill.
What is the effort force of a inclined plane?
the force used to push the object up the plane.
Disadvantages of using an inclined plane?
If the ramp is steep you will need more force to push it.
Where would you find an inclined plane on a fan?
An inclined plane on a fan would be found on the blades. The curved shape of the blades creates an inclined surface that helps push air downwards or upwards, depending on the orientation of the fan.
What tipe of simple machine is a roof of a house?
It is a slope or inclined plane. It is also referred as a ramp. Normally a roof would not act as a ramp because it is not on ground level; however its shape and usage works as an inclined plane.
Using an inclined plane allows you to apply?
Using an inclined plane allows you to apply less force over a longer distance to move an object to a higher position. This is achieved by converting the effort needed to lift the object vertically into a smaller force to push it up the inclined plane.
Dose an inclined plane change the direction of a force only?
No, an inclined plane also affects the amount of force required to move an object along it. The force needed to lift an object vertically is greater than the force needed to push it up an inclined plane at the same height. This is because the inclined plane increases the distance over which the force is applied, making it easier to move the object.
What kind of inclined plane pushes up more?
An inclined plane with a steeper angle will push up more than one with a gentle slope. The steeper the incline, the more force is required to push an object up the incline due to the increased component of weight acting against the motion.
How are blades inclined plane?
If you consider one blade and extrapolate it, it becomes an archemides screw (an inclined plane wrapped around a core.)
Why did the ancient Egyptians choose an inclined plane to construct pyramids?
inclined planes reduce the amount of work to do, its easier to push a heavy stone rock up a ramp then carrying it
