I think it's to do with friction and the material you have on your ramp.

Can the roughness of a ramp slow down a toy car?
Yes. Roughness is a general term that refers to more friction, and friction will slow motion.
What makes a toy car go down a ramp?
gravity and the knetic movement in the wheels.
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
How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance a toy car travels?
in our experiment the higher angle 60 degrees slow the car down because of the severity of impact where slope/ramp touch the floor. the middle angle 30 degrees had best result with smoothest transition.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down

How does the length of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
In terms of physics, the length makes no difference.
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).
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
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.
What are some things that might slow down a car as it travels down a ramp?
gravity. Going uphill is always harder thatn going along the flat.
What makes your car slow down?
"Brakes" make your car slow down.Additional answerSo does friction and air resistance and the rolling resistance of the rubber tyres.
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.
If a toy car has weight added to it and then sent down a ramp will it go slower or faster?
If the toy car's ramp is on 45 degrees and if the toy car is put on some weight, the toy car will go faster because it goes faster, which makes the car go further.
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
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
