Which has more potential energy a 10 kg box rolled on a 5 meter long ramp up to ledge or a 10 kg box rolled up a 20 meter long ramp?

The potential energy that the box gained only depends on how high it was raised, not on how it got there. If both boxes started at the same height and ended at the same height, then they both gained the same amount of potential energy.


What is the relationship between the length of a ramp and the speed at the bottom?

The Object moving down the Ramp will have its POTENTIAL Energy (Speed=0) at the top of the Ramp changed to Kinetic Energy as it travels DOWN the Ramp. For any given INCLINE the LENGTH of the Ramp will dictate its HEIGHT. The higher the top of the ramp, the greater the Potential Energy to be Converted into Kinetic Energy. The Formula for K.E. is : K.E. = 1/2 Mass x Velocity2 (the 2 means Squared) So as the Potential Energy increases so does the Kinetic Energy. while the Mass is a Constant. Therefore the Velocity MUST increase as well to balance the K.E. equation.

Chemical energy


What energy would a cart have at the end of a ramp?

If it were released from the top of the ramp, the cart would have maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp since the gravitational energy at the top of the ramp is converted into the kinetic energy of the cart.


What types of energy does a car gain when moving down a ramp?

How does friction affect the distance traveled by a toy car after rolling down a ramp?

at the top of the ramp the toy has a certain amount of potential energy. The amount of this energy depends on the height of the ramp and the weight of the toy. (The toy's weight is dependent on its mass and the force of gravity.) As the toy rolls down the ramp this potential energy is converted to two other types of energy: Kinetic energy and heat energy. The amount of heat energy depends on friction and air resistance. The lower the total resistance the more kinetic energy, and the more speed, the toy has at the bottom of the ramp.

Why does a ball roll faster down a steep ramp than down a shallow ramp?

Potential Energy of the ball on the shallow ramp and the ball on the steep ramps are different: PE = mass x gravity x height. This potential energy is converted to Kinetic energy or motion energy. KE = 1/2mv^2. If there is more potential energy to convert to Kinetic energy then it will result in increased speed.

If a car is rolled down a ramp would the car travel further if it is steeper?

Yes it would. That was exactly Galileo's experiment, except that he didn't use cars.


How do you get the truck out the window on shrink ray island?

Climb to the top of the bookcase in CJ's room and push down the book called "Tess's Tree" -- it will form a ramp for the truck.

Why does the height of a ramp affect a toy cars speed going down it?

Because a higher ramp gives more potential energy than a shorter one.


What is an example of inclined plane?

You help a buddy move, and he rents a moving truck. To load or unload the truck, you take the ramp out, attach it to the rear of the truck and let it slope to the ground. The ramp is an inclined plane.
