How do you think changing the angle of a ramp will affect work done?

Answer: The steepness of a ramp affects it by making it easier or harder.

Explanation: It's a bit situational. If you were going up a steep ramp with a heavy load, it will increase the work necessary, whereas if you were going down a ramp, it would decrease the work necessary. If you need this simply put, think about biking up and down a hill. It would be easier going down than up.
