Examples of incline in the following topics:

  • Problem-Solving With Friction and Inclines

    • Combining motion on inclines with friction uses such concepts as equilibrium and contact force on an incline.
    • The incline plane has two contact or interface surfaces.
    • One is the incline surface, where the block is placed and the other is the base of the incline, which is in contact with the surface underneath.
    • If the block is being pushed up the incline the friction force points down the incline.
    • Where $\theta$ is the angle the incline makes with the horizontal.

  • Gamification in Education

    • Gamification is a technique intended to leverage inclinations toward competition, achievement, status, and self-expression.

  • The Leading-Term Test

    • If $n$ is odd and $a_n$ is positive, the function declines to the left and inclines to the right.
    • If $n$ is odd and $a_n$ is negative, the function inclines to the left and declines to the right.
    • If $n$ is even and $a_n$ is positive, the function inclines both to the left and to the right.
    • Because $n$ is odd and $a$ is positive, the graph declines to the left and inclines to the right.
    • Because the degree is odd and the leading coefficient  is positive, the function declines to the left and inclines to the right.

  • Normal Forces

    • A more complex example of a situation in which a normal force exists is when a mass rests on an inclined plane.
    • and $\theta$ is the angle between the inclined surface and the horizontal.
    • A mass rests on an inclined plane that is at an angle $\theta$ to the horizontal.

  • Riots

    • The specific property to be targeted varies depending on the cause of the riot and the inclinations of those involved.

  • Stock Dividends vs. Cash Dividends

    • Investors' preference for stock or cash depends on their inclinations toward factors such as liquidity, tax situation, and flexibility.

  • Slope and Intercept

    • The slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade.
    • A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline.

  • Introduction to Chemical Reactivity

    • Now that we can recognize these actors ( compounds ), we turn to the roles they are inclined to play in the scientific drama staged by the multitude of chemical reactions that define organic chemistry.

  • Reducing the cost of pumps and pumping

    • Water and wastewater pumps consume over 50 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in the USA every year (about $4 billion worth of power) and most of the energy they consume is used to fight against the friction created when water is forced through narrow pipes, around bends and up steep inclines.

  • Gender Differences in Social Interaction

    • Women are more inclined to face each other and make eye contact when talking, while men are more likely to look away from each other.
    • Women are inclined to express agreement and support, while men are more inclined to debate.
