In discussing weight, we are assessing the weight of the rider, not the skateboard itself.
.
In a frictionless world, weight has no impact on the speed of a skateboard. In the real world, more weight means more inertia, which means the friction of the wheels have a proportionately less impact on a heavy skateboarder compared to a light skateboarder. Therefore, a heavy skateboarder will coast a further distance on level terrain, or will go faster down a hill, compared to a light skateboarder.

∙ 15y agoYes the weight should affect the speed of a hot wheel because it changes the normal force on the car, which affects the frictional force between the car and the surface beneath it. Also, if the hot wheel moves on a slope, the energy it loses depends on its mass.

∙ 15y agoYes the more weight a car caries the more power it needs to maintain the same speed and its top speed is reduced as the weight increases

∙ 10y agoNo, weight does not effect speed downhill because the acceleration is only due to gravity, which does not depend on mass of the body if friction is not present.

How does the weight of a car affect the speed?
Weight wouldn't effect speed but it would effect how quick it would get up to speed.
Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
yes, it can
Which is the independent variable in an experiment investigate the effect of weight on the speed of vehicles?
The Weight Change.
Which is the independent variable in an experiment investigating the effect of weight on the speed of vehicles?
The Weight Change.
How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?
The car's mass should have no effect on that speed.
How does the weight of a car affect the speed?
Weight wouldn't effect speed but it would effect how quick it would get up to speed.
What is the effect of the weight on speed?
A car with a higher weight will have more friction between the tires and the road compared to a lighter car. So, for the same horsepower engine, the lighter car will go faster, because there is less force retarding the speed of the vehicle.
What is the effect of weight on the speed a car will travel controlled variables?
It will go slower up hill and faster down hill.
How does the weight of a car affect its speed?
The more weight the car has the slower it goes.
Does the mass of the car effect the speed?
A cars weight affects its speed by varying its momentum. If the car has more weight, it has more momentum. With more momentum comes more inertia.(definition: inertia- an objects resistance to change in direction or movement) If the car has a lot of weight, it will speed up slower and stop slower because the cars inertia and momentum keep propelling it forward. If a car has less weight, it will speed up faster and stop faster because the momentum of the car is less than that of the heavier car. A: It is called the power to weight ratio.
Will changing the weight of a parachute effect on the speed?
yes, it can
How material affect the speed of a car?
Weight
How does the model of a car affect its speed?
Aerodynamics, weight of the car, horsepower of the engine, are all factors in the speed the car can travel.
How does the weight of a hot wheels car effect the distance of a car?
It doesnt!!
Which is the independent variable in an experiment investigate the effect of weight on the speed of vehicles?
The Weight Change.
Which is the independent variable in an experiment investigating the effect of weight on the speed of vehicles?
The Weight Change.
What is the effect of the weight of the wheel of the bicycle to its speed?
It really does not have an effect on the maximum speed, but due to inertia, it does inhibit [slow down] changes [acceleration or deceleration] in speed.
