2. Introduction
Can someone tell how they get somewhere? Why other
use tricycle or a car?
Inclined means something that is tilted so that a part of it
is touching a lower point. A plane is anything that is large
and flat, like a piece of wood. So, an inclined plane is a
large, flat object that is tilted so that it goes from a lower
point in space to a ramp. They use ramp to jump high
into the air.

3. Problems
What are the possible situations wherein
we need to use longer or shorter inclined
plane?
What are the differences between shorter
and longer inclined plane?
What are the similarities between shorter
and longer inclined plane?
LOGO
4. Objectives
To know the possible situations that we
need to use longer and shorter inclined
plane.
To give the differences between shorter
and longer inclined plane.
To give the similarities between shorter
and longer inclined plane.

5. Materials
Long Inclined plane – serve as the ramp
Short Inclined plane – serve as the ramp
also
Heavy book – use to be pilled in the
experiments
String – use to pull the books
LOGO
6. Procedure
Prepare all the materials needed for the
experiment.
Put the long ramp in place. Put the book on the
lower end and pull it with constant speed.
Put the short ramp in place. Put the book on the
lower end and pull it with constant speed.
Observe. List all the similarities and differences
of the two inclined plane.

7. Data
Inclined Plane Force Needed Difficulty of Result
pulling the
book
Longer Less force Easier to pull Longer
needed inclined plane
is effective
Shorter More force Harder to pull Shorter
needed inclined plane
is not much
effective
LOGO
8. Result
Based on the data that have been gathered, pulling the
book needs lesser amount of force on longer inclined
plane, while shorter inclined plane needs greater amount
of force. Due with these observations, the book that is
being pulled is much easier to slide on longer inclined
plane compared with the shorter one. So we came up
with the result that the longer inclined plane is much
effective than the shorter inclined plane.

9. Conclusion
Based on the summary of findings, the
following conclusions were formulated;
Both longer and shorter inclined plane has
their varying characteristics.
Both longer and shorter inclined plane has
their benefits.
Longer inclined plane is better to use.
LOGO
10. Recommendations
Based on the summary of findings, the
following recommendations were
formulated;
Using longer and shorter inclined plane
their functions with their usage.
Inclined plane will be more efficient if they
will be used properly.
This project can be used as reference for
further studies.

11. Applications
Ramp used by cars, bicycles and other
vehicles.
Loading trucks using a plane.
Ramps used by people when travelling
from lower to higher ground.
