Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?

If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.

Does greater mass in an object have a higher resistance to a change in movement?
Yes. Force= mass times acceleration if mass is large the force is large.
Why is the acceleration is faster in small objects than in large objects?
The difference is due to inertia. Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion (acceleration). A more massive object will have greater inertia, and therefore a greater resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a slower acceleration. A less massive object has lower inertia, and therefore less of a resistance to a change in motion, resulting in a faster acceleration.
How do the accelerations compare if the same force is exerted first is on the large mass and then on a small mass?
Gravitationally, the same force does not affect a small mass and a large mass.The small mass is acted upon by a smaller gravitational force, and the large massis acted upon by a larger gravitational force. The result is that the small mass andthe large mass fall with the same acceleration, and meet the ground with the samespeed. During the fall, onlookers typically nudge each other and remark to each other:"My word! The large mass weighs more than the small mass!" They are correct in theirimpression, and the scientific reason behind their perspicacious observation is the factthat the gravitational force acting on the large mass is greater than the gravitationalforce acting on the small mass.
Which of these would you expect to require the most force?
increasing acceleration of a large mass
Which of these would you expect to require the most force increasing acceleration of a small mass or decreasing acceleration of a small mass?
Any amount of force, no matter how large or small, will increase or decrease the speed of any mass, no matter how large or small. But if you specify how much you want the object's speed changed and how quickly you want it done, then you have specified the acceleration you want. In that case, the larger the mass is, the more force it will take to accomplish that assignment.

What is a large area of a flat or gently rolling land?
A large area of flat land or gently rolling land is a bay... There's the answer!!
What does it mean to have a sharp slope?
If the slope has a large number, the corresponding line is also said to be STEEP.
Neglecting air resistance and friction if a large block of ice and a small block of ice start sliding down an incline together the heavier block will get to the bottom of the incline when?
At the same time as the other peice of ice.
What law of motion is it when you are driving a small car with better gas mileage versus a large car?
To get comfort, you need weight. To maintain acceleration levels with more weight you need more force, more force = more powerful engine = greater fuel consumption. (newtons second law: force = mass * acceleration)
Is a large area of flat or gently rolling land?
I think this answer is plain.
What does kloothoid loop mean?
Clothoid Loop A vertical loop that is teardrop shaped Roller coasters today employ clothoid loops rather than the circular loops of earlier roller coasters. This is because circular loops require greater entry speeds to complete the loop. The greater entry speeds subject passengers to greater centripetal acceleration through the lower half of the loop, therefore greater G's. If the radius is reduced at the top of the loop, the centripetal acceleration is increased sufficiently to keep the passengers and the train from slowing too much as they move through the loop. A large radius is kept through the bottom half of the loop, thereby reducing the centripetal acceleration and the G's acting on the passengers.
Will the speed of a wind be greater if the difference in air pressure is large or small?
no it will not be greater are greater it does not matter
