An inclined plane or ramp is a type of simple machine that can be used to multiply the distance an object travels while exerting a smaller amount of force. By increasing the distance over which the force is applied, an inclined plane can effectively reduce the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance.

Yes, a machine can multiply input distance by using a formula or algorithm to calculate the desired outcome based on the input distance. The machine can be programmed to perform the multiplication operation efficiently and accurately.
A lever is a simple machine that can multiply the distance you apply force over. By adjusting the placement of the fulcrum, you can increase the distance the load moves relative to the distance you push or pull on it.
Does not multiply energy. Work done or energy used (force * distance) remains the same at both ends. Force or torque can be increased or decreased depending on mechanical advantage. It can change the direction of the force or torque.
Yes, a machine can multiply input force by input distance to increase input energy. This concept is known as mechanical advantage, where the machine amplifies the input force to output more energy than what was initially supplied.
