A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.
Explanation:
Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.
Positive values for position indicate that the object is in front of the starting point and negative values tell us that the object is behind the starting point. (time = 9.5, position = 0) the object is at the starting point.
