Question

When movers use ramps to move heavy objects, which of the following are they doing in order to make work easier?

A.They are increasing the force needed.

B.They are increasing the amount of work done.

C.They are decreasing the amount of work done.

D.They are increasing the distance.

Answer 1

C is the best answer

Answer 2

Option C, They are decreasing the amount of work done.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ramp helps in reducing the amount of work done to move a heavy object easily.

By using an inclined plane, it becomes easier to move a heavy object with less force to greater heights and hence the net work done also reduces.

Work done is equal to Displacement x force and hence when force reduces, the work done also reduces.

Option C is correct
