∙ 11y agoGravity draws an object towards its strongest point. The main things holding you back are air resistance and friction. As a hill gets steeper, you are more in line with the center of gravity, so it overcomes friction and you move faster. Eventually when you are moving vertically there is no friction other than air resistance itself. At this time you will accelerate at 32 feet per second every second until you either hit something or reach terminal velocity which is around 120 mph. Air resistance (on the Earth at least) will not allow you to travel any faster.

∙ 11y ago- The acceleration decreases because then net resultant force decreases.
- F=ma
- This is due to an increase in air resistance at higher speeds
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoBecause gravity is trying to pull it down hill...on flat ground gravity isn't pulling it either direction.

∙ 11y agothe temperature decreases the higher up you go up as the sun is heating the flat surface the earth (sea level) and the further away you get from a hot or warm thing the colder you get

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.
How will the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the marble?
if its steeper it'll go faster
Does Drag always makes objects go faster?
No, drag actually slows the object down but thrust makes it go faster.
Does momentum make a bike move down a hill?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity which infers motion taking place. If the bike was moving then yes it would make it go downhill. The real culprit would be gravity if the bike was not already in motion. The hill is an incline and the bike is being pulled by gravity down that incline.
Does more friction make an object go faster or slower?
Friction will cause objects to slow down.
Does a car go faster going down bigger slopes?
If the angle of incline or distance is greater yes.
Why does a car go faster if a ramp is steeper?
It will go faster because if you have a small/non-steep ramp the car will go slow and the ending point wont be that far, but if you have a ramp that is bigger/steeper the car will go faster and the ending point will be far.
How do you make a club car go faster?
get a steeper hill

The cart will go faster if the angle increases.
How will the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the marble?
if its steeper it'll go faster
Why do skateboards go faster on a inclined plane?
Skateboard goes faster because it is on the incline not the flat ground
What happens to toy cars when the second hill is set to 100 cm?
When toy cars go down a steep hill they pick up momentum. Which makes them go faster so a car on a steeper hill will go faster then one on a flat surface.
What skiers use to go faster?
Longer skis Different wax Steeper slope Guts
Do you go faster on a quad bike if you are heavier?
not necessarily. depends what type of terrain you are on. or what incline
The synonym to inclined?
It would be to recline and or go down. It is the synonyms of incline
When does a skier the greatest kinetic energy?
before they go down the incline.
Why does the distance of a toy car increase when the height of the ramp is increased?
The car experiences greater acceleration from a steeper incline (i.e. you added energy to the system by raising the ramp). The car can then go further due to the increased force (F=ma).
