Many machines-including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but __________ the distance over which the force is applied.
Many machines including inclined planes such as ramps; increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied.
Other machines increase the distance over which the force is applied but decrease the strength of the force. Also other machines change the direction of the force, with or without also increasing its strength or distance.
