The gravitational force is.


What is main force tht causes a to to roll down a ramp?

Gravity


With how much force does a ramp push a ball rolling down it?

A ramp exerts no force, just gravity.


Why would a crayon roll down a ramp but need force to move up a ramp?

The heavy the crayon, it will roll down but it needs force to move it back up


What if The force of friction acting on a cart on a ramp is exactly balanced by the force of gravity acting on the cart down the ramp?

The cart stays where it is and doesn't move.


In Lab 1 what force slowed the car down after it came down the ramp?

friction


How do you make a toy car go fast down a ramp with out pushing it?

drop down a 89 degree slope, that way it will accelerate at the speed of gravity


Why does it apply more effort when a boy pushes a load up a ramp than a boy pushing down the ramp?

Even though gravity wants to pull the boy and the load strait down the wedge shape under him and the load causes a higher amount of resistance by creating a downward force while going up. This force is a help to the boy and load going down.


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.


Suppose a box is sliding down a ramp How many force vectors does the box have?

It has 3


What happens when two blocks are on top of each other and allowed to slide down a plane at a constant acceleration?

It depends on the masses of the blocks and the coefficients of friction. If the force of friction between the lower block and the ramp is greater than the force of friction between the upper and lower blocks, the upper one will accelerate at a greater rate than the lower one, and it will fall off. Otherwise, they will accelerate together.


How does the mass of a toy car affect its speed going down a ramp?

The weight of the car will cause the force of gravity to push it down with seemingly more force than the lighter car. And so this would make the car go faster down a slanted surface, which is the ramp.
