A small wagon rolls down a ramp and comes to a stop what forces act to stop the wagon?

Gravity pulls the wagon down the ramp. Friction from the tires on the ground slows the wagon. Wind resistance (friction from the air) slows the wagon as well. Gravity also helps slow the wagon down once it is off the ramp and the wagon is rolling on a level surface.

Which force causes a wagon to speed up as it rolls down a hill friction gravity mass normal?
Gravity.
An empty wagon rolls easy but a loaded wagon is more difficult to roll Using your knowledge of friction force and weight explain why this is so?
Force = mass x acceleration Assuming we want the same acceleration such as 0 to 60 mph in 10 seconds. The loaded wagon has more mass. Hence, it requires more force to move it.
How much work is done by the girl pulling her brother who is in the wagon if she exerts a force of 50N at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal and travels 25m?
Work = (force) x (distance)Work = (33N) x (13m) = 429 N-m = 429 joulesIF the force is in exactly the same direction as the motion of the wagon.
Why does a child on a toboggan fall back when the toboggan is given a sharp tug?
A child in a wagon seems to fall backward when you give the wagon a sharp pull forward because the force that is exerted on te wagon is greater than the force of the friction pushing the child forward while the wagon is accelerating forward. If the force was great enough or if the wagon were to continue being pushed with a constant or increasing force, the child would eventually fall off the wagon. If the wagon's surface had no friction and there was no wind blowing against the wagon but there was friction on the ground the wagon is rolling on, then the child would stay in the same position and would fall of the wagon if the wagon were to travel far enough. If the surface of the wagon had no friction, there was no other force stopping the wagon, then the child wouldn't move his position while the wagon wouldn't stop ever making it so the child had to eventually fall assuming the wagon is finite and doesn't go all the way around in a circle around a center of gravity.
