Best Answer

A Car weight approximately 1100 KG, now because the car has that much mass, it is forced to go downhill, unless the handbrake is applied.

How does incline affect speed?

Incline affects speed by causing it to increase or decrease. For example, if something is traveling up the incline, its speed will decrease. If something is traveling down the incline, its speed will generally increase.


A ball rolling down an incline has its minimum speed?

The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.


How does an incline plane multiply speed?

By moving down the ramp it picks up speed producing more kinetic energy reducing the potential energy. As it goes down farther the more the speed increases until the load reaches the bottom of the incline plane(ramp).


A can rolled down an incline and accelerated at a uniform rate It started from rest a speed of 0 ms and reached the bottom of the incline moving with a speed of 1.8ms state the average speed?

For uniform acceleration the average speed is the initial speed plus the final speed divided by two.


Why does a toy car rolling at constant speed down a straight incline track slow down when reaching the base of the incline?

i think this happens due to friction between the ground and the toy car :)


Does speed increase the stability of a car going down a straight road?

All cars vary; the only foolproof method for answering your question is to reach top speed in your vehicle


Describe an experiment you could perform to determinethe average speed of a toy car rolling down an incline?

roll a car down a hill


Would friction or air pressure affect how fast a ball rolls down a incline?

Yes it would. Speed will depend on Weight of the ball, Incline angle, Friction, and air pressure.


Scientist performs an experiment to see if two different balls will roll down an incline at the same speed?

Not enough information to give an answer.


What is an experiment you could perform to determine the average speed of a toy car rolling down an incline?

Simple physics, Velocity(Speed)=Distance traveled / Time taken so measure a set distance down your incline and time the toy rolling down if you want a true speed make sure the toy is going at full speed before it crosses the start line and you start your timer, otherwise you will get an average including the toys acceleration time and as such won't be a true representation


Why does a bicylist pick up speed on a downhill road even when he will not pendalling?

The weight of the cycle and the person act vertically down (perpendicular to the level ground). This weight can be considered as two components, one perpendicular to the incline and the other along the incline which when added to the speed of the moving cycle increases it.


How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?

The car's mass should have no effect on that speed.
