What is a disadvantage of using an inclined plane to lift a heavy object? Select one:Many objects are difficult to lift straight up.highlight_offThe object must be moved a greater distance.highlight_offHeavy objects usually take up more space.highlight_offIt takes less effort to move the object.

An inclined plane helps to move a load higher than it is, but it has to be moved over a shorter distance.Question 1Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 2Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textAn inclined plane makes it possible to lift heavy objects by using a bigger force.Question 2Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 3Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textExamples of inclined planes are loading ramps and wheelchair ramps.Question 3Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 4Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textAn inclined plane makes the work easier.Question 4Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 5Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textWhen the inclined plane is up higher it makes the work easier than when it is inclined lower.Question 5Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 6Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textA screw is nothing more than an inclined plane wrapped around a piece of metal.Question 6Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 7Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textA screw is nothing more than an inclined plane wrapped around a piece of metal.Question 7Select one:TrueFalseQuestion 8Not yet answeredMarked out of 1.00Flag questionTipsQuestion textSimple machines are all around us and designed to make our lives easier.Question 8Select one:TrueFalse
