Science experiment: Inclined plane

(todays date or due date)
Hypothesis:
If the height of the inclined plane increases, then the IMA, AMA will increase And efficiency will decrease. This will be because a sharper incline will require more energy over a shorter distance than a shallow incline.
Trial: 1
Height: 11.15 Cm
Length: 56.60 Cm
Mass: 500 g (4.90 N)
Effort Force: 1.35 N
AMA: 3.63
IMA: 5.08
Efficiency: 71.46
Trial: 2
Height: 17.40 Cm
Length: 56.60 Cm
Mass: 500 g (4.90 N)
Effort force: 1.75 N
AMA: 2.80
IMA: 3.25
Efficiency: 86.15
Questions for “presenting your outcome”:
How does the length to height ratio (the IMA) of trial 1 compare to trial 2?
Why is the actual mechanical advantage less than the ideal mechanical advantage in each of the trials?
If a machine was 100% efficient, how would the AMA compare to the IMA?
Answers to those questions:
1: The IMA in trial 1 is greater than in trial 2 because an inclined plane with a shallower rise will have a higher ideal mechanical advantage because less effort can be applied over a greater distance in a shallow rise than in a steep one.
2: IMA of an inclined plane does not account for things like gravity weighing an object down and friction being generated between the object and the plane, among other factors. Because both of the listed factors are things that we know will affect the object being moved up the inclined plane, we can predict that the AMA will be lower because outside factors acting on the object make the inclined plane less efficient.
3: If a machine was 100% efficient, the IMA and AMA would be congruent. This is because for a medicine to be 100% efficient there would have to be no outside forces acting on the object. The ideal mechanical advantage does not calculate for outside forces, so with a machine having to be a place where exactly 0 outsides forces are present to be working at 100% efficiency, then common logic would say that the IMA and AMA would have to be the exact same.
