The 19 pages that link to Inclined plane, each with the reason it gives.

• Galileo GalileiRelated: Rolling balls down slopes let Galileo investigate falling motion more slowly.

• Work (physics)Broader topic: It illustrates how a machine reduces force without reducing ideal work.

• LeverCompared with: It trades force for distance without rotating around a pivot.

• Mechanical advantageBroader topic: Its length relative to its height determines the ideal force needed to raise a load.

• Normal forceBroader topic: The surface's tilt changes the normal force's direction and, in simple equilibrium, its magnitude.

• Free-body diagramBroader topic: Its diagrams resolve gravity and contact forces along and perpendicular to the slope.

• Archimedes' screwRelated: The screw’s helix can be understood as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.

• Static frictionRelated: Friction can balance the downhill component of gravity until the object starts sliding.

• FulcrumCompared with: It is a simple machine that trades force for distance without rotating around a fulcrum.

• Contact forceBroader topic: Its normal force and friction determine how an object slides or stays put.

• Net forceBroader topic: Resolving gravity and the normal force shows how their vector sum drives motion along a slope.

• FunicularRelated: The track provides the inclined path along which the cable moves each car.

• RampNarrower topic: A ramp is a practical inclined plane; its length trades distance for reduced effort.

• Simple machineBroader topic: It reduces the force needed to raise a load by extending the path.

• Resultant forceBroader topic: Forces along and perpendicular to the slope determine an object's acceleration.

• LaMarcus Adna ThompsonRelated: The Switchback Railway used elevated track sections to create its descent.

• Playground slideNarrower topic: A slide is a play-oriented form of this simple machine.

• Cable transportRelated: It is a simple cable-haulage arrangement underlying some specialized transport systems.

• Screw mechanismNarrower topic: An unwrapped screw thread forms an inclined plane around a cylinder.
