How can inclined planes change the amount of force to move an object? A. Increase height of the inclined plane B. Increase distance of the inclined plane C. Use a wooden inclined plane instead of a metal one D. None of the above

Option ( B ) is correct .

Explanation:

To lift a heavy weight , inclined plane is used . Use of inclined plane , makes the task easier because instead of force mg , force mg sinθ is to be used which is less than mg . Here θ is inclination of inclined plane.

If h be the height by which weight is to be lifted

potential energy acquired by weight = mgh

work done by force mg sinθ = mgsinθ x d where d is displacement required .

mg sinθ x d = mgh  ( work done by force = potential energy stored in luggage )

d = h / sinθ

d will be more than h

Hence inclined plane increases the distance to be covered by force applied though it decreases the force itself.

Hence option ( B ) is correct .

concave lenses are used here. they spread the light out before it reaches the convex lens in the eye, therefore letting the image focus directly on the retina. hyperopia is known to you probably as farsightedness.
