Does a the mass of a ball affect how fast it rolls down a ramp?
no
What is the accereleration of 2kg mass slding down a frictionless ramp?
The mass of the object doesn't matter, but the answer does depend on the angle (steepness) of the ramp.
How does the steepness of a ramp affect how fast an object moves?
The steepness of the ramp affects the direction of the normal force of the object on a ramp (which is always perpendicular to the ramp). The net gravitational force is always straight down.Using the angle of inclination of the ramp with Trigonometry, you can find the vector forces of gravity perpendicular and parallel to the normal force which makes up the net gravitational force. The parallel portion is in the same direction of the ball rolling down the ramp. This will give you your force of acceleration, which you can use in basic equations to find the velocity of the object.The steeper the ramp, the faster the object rolls down. A ramp of 0 degrees would result in a ball just sitting on the ramp as normal force and gravitational forces cancel each other. A ramp of 90 degrees would be like a cliff and this would produce the fastest velocity since the ball is moving in the same direction as the force of gravity in free fall. A ramp with an angle between these means that part of the gravitational force is being offset by the normal force.
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
Does the starting position of a ball on a ramp affect the distance it travels?
Yes, it does. The further up a ball is placed on a ramp, the greater the distance the ball travels. If launched from a lower starting position, then the ball shall travel a shorter distance. This is all true under Newton's second law, which states that Force = mass * acelaration(F= m*a). If the ball has to move something, i.e. a cup, then the rule applies as well.
How does the increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down ramp?

What is an independent variable in an expirement?
The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that the experimenter varies or changes. For instance, if I'm studying the effect of the steepness of a ramp with the time it takes a ball to roll down the ramp, I change the steepness of the ramp (the independent variable) and measure the time (the dependent variable). Hope this helps.

Is it more difficult to run up a ramp with a slope of 15 or a ramp with a slope of 5 Explain.?
The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.

How does the steepness of a slope and ground moisture affect landslide potential?
it can slip
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.
How does a gradient affect the steepness of the line?
The higher the gradient, the more steeper the line will be.
How do you make a ping pong ball go faster down a ramp without altering the outside of the ball and without doing anything to the ramp?
Hmm. . . You can't modify the ball or the ramp. Those are two constraints that don't leave much room for improvement. Is changing the pitch angle of the ramp allowed? I suppose not. How about moving the ramp into a vacuum chamber? If you place the ramp and ball in a vacuum chamber and purge the air, you will eliminate -- or at least greatly reduce -- the friction due to air resistance. In a vacuum, the ball should roll down the ramp faster. How about blowing the ball down the ramp? Get behind the ball and, once it's rolling, blow hard! Better yet, get a hair blow-dryer and really give it a boost.
