What factors change the horizontal and vertical components of the weight of an object on a ramp?

The horizontal and vertical components don't change. In fact, weight is
completely vertical, and has no horizontal component at all, regardless
of what the object happens to be sitting on.
But the components parallel to the ramp and normal to the ramp depend on
the slope of the ramp.

The horizontal and vertical components of a projectile's velocity are independent of each other what does this statement mean?
That means the if you change one you do not necessarily change the other. In the case of the projectile the vertical component is dependent on time (if it is a projectile near a large mass like the earth) gravity acts on it accelerating the projectile in a downward direction. The horizontal component remains the same during the entire flight (if we disregard air resistance and such things).
What kind of form of energy is the change of position?
If the change of position is horizontal, then there's no energy involved. If it's a vertical change, then gravitational potential energy changes.
Why does the vertical component of velocity for a projectile change with time where as the horizontal component of velocity doesn't?
Because gravity is acting on the vertical component, exerting a constant -9.8m/s2 worth of acceleration.
Why at the highest point is the change in velocity zero?
Note - the vertical velocity is zero ... there may be considerable horizontal velocity. And vertical velocity is zero because the object is going neither up nor down.
What is the slope in physics?
Slope has 2 meanings in physics:-It is used to describe the inclined plane i.e. its a synonym of the inclined plane.It is used to determined the factors of a curve plotted with the use of predetermined data. It is the ratio of the change in the y axis to the change in the x axis.
What is term for the ratio of vertical change over horizontal change?
the term for the ratio of vertical change over horizontal change is slope
What is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change?
The Slope
What is is the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change?
The Slope
The ratio of a line's vertical change to its horizontal change?
the slope
Rise is the horizontal change between any two points on a line?
No, rise is the vertical change. Run is the horizontal change.
The Ratio of a vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change in a line?
slope
What is the ratio of a vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change in a line?
Slope.
What is the ratio of a vertical change of the corresponding horizontal change in a line?
Slope.
The ratio of a lines vertical change to horizontal change is called?
gradient
What is the ratio of a vertical change to the corresponding horizontal change of a line?
Slope.
How do you figure out vertical and horizontal change in a math graph?
you measure it.
Meaning of the slope as a rate of change?
The slope is the ratio of rise over the run. The rise is the change in the vertical distance.The run is the change in the horizontal distance.So the slope is the ratio of two changes, horizontal divided by vertical.
