Lifting the weight without a pulley requires a force of 400 newtons over a distance of 4 meters. How do these values change when the pulley is applied?
(1 point)
• The force increases, while the distance decreases.
• The force decreases, while the distance increases.
• Both the force and the distance decrease.
• Both the force and the distance increase.
The force decreases, while the distance increases.
What is the effect of using this inclined plane?
(1 point)
• The object can be lifted while being pushed over a shorter distance.
• The object can be lifted with less total work.
• The object can be lifted while using a downward force.
• The object can be lifted with less force.
