How can you describe motion on two balls down a ramp at the same time?

If they have the same radius of gyration (k) they will accelerate at the same rate.
If not the ball with the lesser k would accelerate more quickly.

What are the sources of errors in a ramp experiment?
your balls touch the ramp
Which statement is an obervation if the ramp is steeper then the ball will roll faster or friction slowed the ball down or gravity caused the ball's motion?
"If the ramp is steeper than the ball will roll faster" can be observed during experiments. "Friction slowed the ball down" and "Gravity caused the ball's motion" are both conjectures (guesses).
Can the roughness of a ramp slow down a toy car?
Yes. Roughness is a general term that refers to more friction, and friction will slow motion.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
A cart is rolling down a ramp if the angle of the ramp is increased to make the ramp steeper the cart will do what?
The cart will go faster if the angle increases.

When you use a simple machine?
You can make a ramp. In scientific terms, it would be an inclined plain. You can roll balls and drive wheelchairs up and down ramps.

How does the increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down ramp?

What is ramping mode on a paint ball gun?
ramp- when you pull the trigger more than say 3 times in one second it will make your marker fire full auto at a set rate (say 15 balls per second) until you release the trigger back to restramp millenium- is basically the same as psp ramp but you can customize the trigger pulls to achieve full auto, along with the rate of fire.basically ramp allows you to fire plenty of balls to get you to where u need to be off the break. since you really cannot fire a gun 15 bps (balls per second) its allows you to keep a steady stream of balls down stream, even with the ramp option on you can still fire semi auto, once you hit the "ramp" it will do just that..
What terms of friction would I use to describe a block of wood when it is at rest on a wooden ramp then when I add wheels to the block of wood to make it go down the ramp?
at rest it is static friction while on wheels it is rolling friction
How does newtons 1st law of motion act on the derby car?
An outside force, gravity, pulls the car down the ramp building up speed. At the bottom of the ramp law 1 kicks in. The car continues to move in a straight line.
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
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.
