Gravity, the heavier the object the more force gravity has on it, and the faster it can accell before the force of friction (from the wheels, road surface and air) equal the force of gravity till it hits is maximum speed.

Does the distance a toy car travels up a ramp affect its speed?
Yes.
How does the length of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
In terms of physics, the length makes no difference.
What Two factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop?
Air resistance against the car as it travels and the friction of the wheels against the ground slows it down and so reduces the toy car's potential travelling distance The weight of the car\on the car, the slope of the ramp and the material the car lands on or on the ramp
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
Speed of car?
(distance the car travels) divided by (time it takes to cover that distance)
Does the distance a toy car travels down a ramp affect its speed?
yes This is because of the fact that gravity is a measure of acceleration. The longer the car has to accelerate the faster is will be by the end.
What distance a car travels at 60 mph?
It depends upon how long it travels for. Distance = speed * time So if the car travels at 60 mph for 2 hours, the distance is 60 mph * 2 hours = 120 miles But if the car travels at 60 mph for 30 minutes (0.5 hours), the distance is 60 mph * 0.5 hours = 30 miles.
What was the odometer used for?
to record the distance a car travels
What does the speedometer in a moving car show you?
It shows the speed and the distance the car travels.
Name 2 factors the affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
One factor is the height of the ramp. The higher the height of the ramp the further the car travels. Another factor is the surface of the ramp. With a rough surface on the ramp e.g sand paper the car travels a short distance. With a lubricated surface on the ramp e.g Vaseline the car will travel a very long distance.
What is the equation to find the speed the car travels over a distance?
Speed = Distance / Time
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
