The velocity ratio of an inclined plane

Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Physics - 2013 (Objective) Subject: Physics

Question 1 Report

The velocity ratio of an inclined plane
Answer Details
The velocity ratio of an inclined plane is a measure of the effectiveness of the plane in reducing the force required to move an object to a certain height. It is defined as the ratio of the distance moved by the load to the distance moved by the effort. The velocity ratio of an inclined plane is dependent on the angle of inclination. As the angle of inclination increases, the velocity ratio also increases. This means that a steeper inclined plane is more effective at reducing the force required to move an object to a certain height. Therefore, the correct option is: increases with increase in the angle of inclination.
