Usually it will roll.
Negative positive (apex)
If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
The ball has the potential to move down the slope when released.
The minimum speed of a ball rolling down an incline occurs when all its initial potential energy at the top of the incline is converted to kinetic energy at the bottom, without any loss to friction or other factors. This minimum speed can be calculated using the principle of conservation of energy.
The acceleration due to gravity remains constant, regardless of incline. The fact that it is on an incline does not change the fact that it will remain constant, it will only change the component of that acceleration being applied to the ball.
The small ball will have a greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane because it has less mass and experiences less inertia. This means that the force of gravity can accelerate the small ball more easily than the large ball.
Yes it would. Speed will depend on Weight of the ball, Incline angle, Friction, and air pressure.
It has a negative (downward) slope.
The ball would roll downhill.
The independent variable is the angle of incline of the ramp because it is being manipulated by the student. The dependent variable is how far the ball rolls down the ramp as it is being measured and affected by the angle of incline.
In general, both heavy and light objects will accelerate at the same rate when moving down an incline due to gravity. However, the heavy object will have more inertia, so it may require more force to move initially but will have a stronger pull down the incline once moving.
A moving skateboard has kinetic energy. If it is moving down an incline, it also has potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as it gains speed. If its moving up an incline, kinetic energy is converted to potential energy as it loses speed.
