Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Pay attention to the diagrams to help you understand the concepts.
An inclined plane is a simple machine that makes it easier to move objects to a higher or lower place. It is essentially a flat surface tilted at an angle. Think about a ramp!
1. Which of the following is an example of an inclined plane?
A seesaw
A ramp
A wheelbarrow
A pair of scissors
2. An inclined plane helps us move objects by:
Making the object lighter
Increasing the force needed
Reducing the force needed over a longer distance
Making the object disappear
3. An inclined plane is a machine.
4. The steeper the ramp, the force is needed to push an object up.
5. It is harder to push a box up a long, gentle ramp than to lift it straight up.
True
False
6. Describe a real-life situation where you would use an inclined plane. Explain why it would be helpful.
