If a ball rolls down a hill does its speed or acceleration increase?

If you roll a ball up a hill it undergoes negative upward and positive downward acceleration.


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.


Does reactive bowling ball increase ball speed?

No. The highest ball speed you can register is the moment it leaves your hand. After that moment friction slows the ball down. Generally if a bowling alley has speed sensors at the pin deck the register speed is about 1.5mph slower than when the ball left your hand. Being that reactive resin has a higher coefficient of drag against the lane it will slow your ball down more than if our threw a plastic house ball in similar shape.


A ball is thrown upward and caught when it comes back down In the presence of air resistance the speed with which it is caught is?

less than the speed it had when thrown upward.


What does speed have to do with soccer?

speed has a lot to do with soccer. if you didn't have speed then you wouldn't be able to chase down the ball or catch other players to get the ball


A ball falling through the air has?

acceleration due to gravity acting on it, which causes it to increase in speed as it falls. The force of air resistance also acts on the ball, gradually slowing it down. Eventually, the ball reaches terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance and the ball falls at a constant speed.


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.


How does incline affect speed?

Incline affects speed by causing it to increase or decrease. For example, if something is traveling up the incline, its speed will decrease. If something is traveling down the incline, its speed will generally increase.


Can a bicycle or a ball get up speed instantaneously?

yes but if they are going down road


Does the speed of a ball rolling down a ramp change with the kind of material from which the ball is made?

The speed at which an object falls is not affected by its weight or mass, so a solid stone ball should fall just as quickly as a hollow wooden ball. But a ball made of a rougher material could slow it down. The material of the ball should only matter if affects how smooth the ball is.


How does gravity affect volleyball?

When the ball is in the air, gravity brings the ball back down.


The speed of ball increases as it rolls down an inclinem What happens to its speed on a smooth horizontal surface?

It's speed will reduce to to friction by gravity.
