A small wagon rolls down a ramp and comes to a stop what forces act to stop the wagon?
Gravity pulls the wagon down the ramp. Friction from the tires on the ground slows the wagon. Wind resistance (friction from the air) slows the wagon as well. Gravity also helps slow the wagon down once it is off the ramp and the wagon is rolling on a level surface.
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
What forces are used when a toy car goes down a ramp?
I am not sure what you mean by "forces used" as there are many forces at work on every object constantly. However, in this case the main forces are gravity friction and air pressure as well as the main force of the car =mass times its acceleration or speed. the person that wrote this well clearly did not take science as a degree!! what they mean by 'forces used' they mean 'what forces are there when a toy car goes down a ramp' some may get this other may not. the forces used are gravity friction and air pressure. some may say weight is also included in this advent. the mass of the car is normally included in the gravity or weight. thank you!!
A cart is rolling down a ramp if the angle of the ramp is increased to make the ramp steeper the cart will do what?
The cart will go faster if the angle increases.
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
What forces cause a car to roll down a ramp?
gravity assuming the car was off, and not in park
what angle or degree must a handicap ramp have in order to pass code in Va.?
The portable ramp must be at least 42" wide and have a slope of 8 percent in Virginia.

How does the increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down ramp?
how does increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down the ramp
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.
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 height of a ramp affect the speed of a rolling object?
At the bottom of the ramp, the higher the ramp the faster the speed, ignoring frictionl forces The speed varies as the square root of the height
What must happen to the four forces to make a airplane fly?
The four forces that act on an airplane are lift, weight, thrust and drag. During steady state flight (the plane is not climbing, descending, accelerating or decelerating) lift is equal to weight, and thrust is equal to drag. In order for a plane to enter a climb, lift must be momentarily greater than weight. Once the plane is established in this climb (lets say 1000 feet per minute) lift is again equal to weight, and it is the thrust that is pulling the plane up higher and higher. Imagine you have a string tied to a box next to a ramp. To get that box established on the ramp, you must lift it up (lift greater than weight) but once it is on the ramp (established in the climb) you are using that string to pull it forward as it climbs up the ramp and gains height.
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.
A car traveling at 20 mph on a curved exit ramp has a constant velocity?
If it does, it won't stay on the ramp for long. In order to travel in a curved path, the velocity must change even if the speed remains the same.
