The independent variable is the slope of the ramp because you vary the slope in the experiment. How far the marble travels is the dependent variable because that is what you are measuring.

∙ 13y agoThe marble is speeding up the entire time it is on the ramp, so the longer the ramp the faster the marble will end up going.

Rebecca is conducting an experiment to see if the height of a ramp affects the speed at which a marble rolls down the ramp What should be the only variable in Rebecca's experiment?
Dependant variable Height of the ramp
How does newton's second law apply to an object rolling down a ramp?
Slope is defined as 'rise over run' in other words: take the height of the ramp and divide it by the length of the ramp. This gives you the slope. y2-y1/x2-x1
How does newtons 1st law of motion act on the derby car?
An outside force, gravity, pulls the car down the ramp building up speed. At the bottom of the ramp law 1 kicks in. The car continues to move in a straight line.
How are catalysts enzymes and activation energy related?
Enzymes are a type of catalyst. A catalyst is used in a biochemical process to reduce the activation energy needed for a specific reaction.
Does the surface affect the speed of a rolling object?
Obviously it does but it depends, the more friction the surface produces the slower the ball will go. Also it depends on how you are going to roll the ball, using a ramp or by hands. But using a ramp would be better because when you use your hands to roll the ball, each time you roll it will slightly be different like the pressure. (;
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
What is the final speed of the marble at the bottom of the straight ramp and loop ramp?
A marble traveling at 3.0m/s starts to acceleration at 4.5m/s over a distance of 25m. what is the final speed of the marble?
Is it possible to predict the speed of a marble after rolling down a ramp if you know the height of the ramp?
no impossible
How will the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the marble?
if its steeper it'll go faster
Rebecca is conducting an experiment to see if the height of a ramp affects the speed at which a marble rolls down the ramp What should be the only variable in Rebecca's experiment?
Dependant variable Height of the ramp
How does angle of the ramp effect how far you go?
Yes plus speed
How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?
The car's mass should have no effect on that speed.
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 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.
Does the toy car going down the ramp effect its speed?
Yes because the toy car will be forced to speed up the steeper the ramp it's like going down a hill on your bike you speed up because of OME'S law.
Does the angle of a ramp effect the balance of a skateboarder?
No. The angle of the ramp only determines the lift the ramp gives in accordance to the speed the skateboarder is traveling up the ramp at. Theskateboarder's balance is determined by weight body position ,and COB. (center of balance)
How does increasing the height of a ramp effect a rolling objects speed?
Because then more kenetic energy is transfered
