What causes the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane to be less than that of the lever? 30 points !!!

8 0

Moving an object up an inclined plane requires lessforce than lifting it straight up, at a cost of an increase in the distance moved. The mechanical advantageof an inclined plane, the factor by which the force is reduced, is equal to the ratio of the length of the sloped surface to the height it spans.

Suppose you give a 10 Newton push to Ryan on skis (he weighs 50 kg), how much will he accelerate?

Talja [164]

Well we can just use F=ma. The force is 10N, the mass is 50 kg, solve for a. Well since we kg and N, no conversion is necessary. So just plugging in the numbers, we get

10N = 50 kg · a

$\frac{10N}{50kg}=a$
