3. It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigerator to the same height using a
20-meter ramp? (Assume no friction for both ramps.)
O A. at least 2 people
O B. at least 4 people
O c. at least 8 people
D. Not enough information (could be impossible).

Answer:

A

Explanation: Using a ramp that is twice is long (and therefore flatter) means that half as much force is needed. Force is provided by the people who push, so only half as many people would be needed.

At least 2 people would be needed to push the same refrigerator to the same height using a 20-meter ramp.

Given the following data:

  • Number of people = 4 people.
  • Height A = 10 meters.
  • Height B = 20 meters.

What is a ramp?

A ramp can be defined as a sloping plane or surface that is typically used to connect two (2) levels; a higher and a lower level.

In this scenario, a ramp that is twice as long as the first ramp was used to push a refrigerator up. This simply means that, half the magnitude of force provided by the 4 people pushing the refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp would be needed for the 20-meter ramp, assuming no friction for both ramps.

In conclusion, we can deduce that at least 2 people would be needed to push the same refrigerator to the same height using a 20-meter ramp.
