User: In comparison with a steep slope, a gentle slope _____.
requires more force over a longer distance
requires more force over a shorter distance
requires less force over a longer distance
requires less force over a shorter distance
Weegy: In comparison with a steep slope, a gentle slope - requires less force over a longer distance.
User: To increase IMA, what should you do to the slope (steepness) of the ramp?
Weegy: To increase IMA, decrease the Slope(steepness) of the ramp.

User: Why does the screw have a very low efficiency?
Because with a low effort it can lift large loads.
Because it take a huge effort to turn in order to lift large loads.
Because the input work is much greater than the output work.
Because the input work is much smaller than the output work.
Weegy: The screw have a very low efficiency because the input work is much greater than the output work.
