Q1
The answer should be 2) Ramps

Q2
We can use ramp to slide a heavy object up over a slippery surface when we apply a pulling force to the object.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

slide (intransitive verb) = move along a smooth surface
An object slides down over a slippery surface. (~ i.e. under gravity)

slide (transitive verb) = cause (a person or thing) to move across or down a surface while maintaining contact with it
An object is slid up the slippery surface of a ramp by a pulling force.

In physics, work done = force X distance
We use less force, but the object is moved over a longer distance.

A heavy load may be raised by pulling it along a sloping surface than by lifting it vertically.

Watch your language! ~ I mean the way you word it.
You always come up with half-baked ideas.

How can an object slide up over a slippery surface by a ramp (on its own)?
地心引力顛倒?
You should mention the pulling force applied to the object.
