B.) Decrease
Explanation;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.Explanation:
Work is applying a force to move an object over a distance. ... Machines make work easier by changing the strength or direction of a force. ... But many everyday objects, such as rakes, bottle openers, and ramps, are machines too. ... A flat surface (plane) set at an angle (inclined); a simple machine used to reduce the force ...
