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.
2 factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
Gravity and friction !
Name 2 factors the affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
One factor is the height of the ramp. The higher the height of the ramp the further the car travels. Another factor is the surface of the ramp. With a rough surface on the ramp e.g sand paper the car travels a short distance. With a lubricated surface on the ramp e.g Vaseline the car will travel a very long distance.
Why does the higher the ramp affect the speed of a car?
a ramp offsets the normal force of an object which allows gravity to have an x component relative to the object. the greater the incline the greater this effect is. A car attempting to go up a ramp will be slowed by this effect, and a car attempting to go down a ramp will be sped up by this effect.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
Does the height of a ramp effect the speed of a car?
If you are talking about a car rolling down a ramp then yes. The taller the ramp the more momentum the car will create there for the car will travel farther and faster.
How far will a toy car travel after rolling down a ramp?
it all depends on the height of either the ramp or how far up the ramp the toy car rolls from
What stops a car after rolling down a ramp?
An equal or opposing force. fool. Also friction could stop it, EX: the toy car stops because it goes into grass.
Which is the main force that causes a toy car to roll down a ramp?
The gravitational force is.
Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).
In Lab 1 what force slowed the car down after it came down the ramp?
friction

When the toy car is placed at the top of the ramp what force acts upon the car to make it slide donw the ramp?
gravity pulls it down....but of course inertia

How will the angle of a ramp affect the speed of a car going down it?
The larger the angle of the ramp, the faster the car will go down it.
