Would the weight of a ball affect its rolling speed?
yes
How does carpet affect a rolling ball?
On carpet the friction is more as it is a rough surface therefore it stops or slow down a rolling ball.
What is an example of constant motion?
A ball rolling at a constant speed at the same rate of speed on a still surface.
As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing,the increasing speed is accompanied by?
momentum As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing, the increasing speed is accompanied by: a. increasing momentum.
Does the surface affect the speed of a rolling object?
Obviously it does but it depends, the more friction the surface produces the slower the ball will go. Also it depends on how you are going to roll the ball, using a ramp or by hands. But using a ramp would be better because when you use your hands to roll the ball, each time you roll it will slightly be different like the pressure. (;
A ball rolling down an incline has its minimum speed?
The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.
Which surface lets a ball roll farthest?
A ball rolling along any surface will be slowed by friction. Different materials used for the ball and the rolling surface will affect the distance a ball will roll but in general, the smoother and more polished the surface is, the further a ball will roll.
Does the speed of a ball rolling down a ramp change with the kind of surfacce on which the ball is rolling?
yes it does. i just did the experiment.
Does the texture of what something is rolling on affect its speed?
Yes, the texture of what something is rolling on can affect its speed. Rough surfaces create more friction, slowing down the object. Smooth surfaces have less friction, allowing the object to roll faster.
Is there a relationship between the mas of a moving ball and its speed while rolling down an inclined plane?
Mass does not affect the acceleration of an object due to gravity. Any object of any size or mass will fall at the same speed. A ball rolling down an inclined plane is accelerated by gravity, so its speed won't be affected by its mass at all.
Is it necessary for a force to start a ball rolling on a level surface?
yes or the ball would not move
Is it possible for a ball to also have potential energy as it is rolling?
Yes, if it is rolling at a constant speed it has potential energy.
