To ascend a slope, you have to overcome the force of gravity that is pulling down on you. Coming down a slope, gravity will tend to accelerate your descent (as it would when sliding down a hill). Although you still have to lift your feet from the ground (opposing gravity) if you are walking, you do not have to lift your body through the entire step, as you do when going uphill.

How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
What can of soda would go faster an empty one or one that is full?
If you roll it on its side down a slight slope, the full can would go faster because it has more weight.
What happens as the pilot gets closer to the speed of sound?
The airplane becomes more difficult to fly because there is more drag from air molecules
How can you determine whether the contour on a tropographic map show a gradual slope?
You can tell if a landform has a steep or gentle slope by looking at it. If the hill is small, it is not steep. A steep slope would be at more of an incline.
Why does adding more solute decrease the slope of the curve?

How do slope and load and surface affect movement?
Usually by making it more difficult! Can you be more pacific? :D
Is it more difficult to run up a ramp with a slope of 15 or a ramp with a slope of 5 Explain.?
The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.
Why is it difficult to climb a vertical slope than a gentle slope?
Gravity is always pulling objects down so when you climb upward gravity weighs you down, you have to use effort to move yourself in the oposite direction that gravity is pulling you that is why it is harder to climb up a slope. When you climb a gentle slope you still are using energy but it takes longer to reach the same height on a gentle slope versus a verticle slope. On a verticle slope you are climbing higher instead of farther so on each step gravity weighs you down much more than on a gentle slope. When climbing a gentle slope you don't rise as rapidly so gravity doesn't take as much of a toll on you and you have a chamce to recover.
Explain the slope rating on a golf course?
Slope rating is the difficulty of the golf course. The higher the rating, then the more difficult one should have. The greens are faster, the course is hilly, and there are many more bunkers.
What does steeper mean?
To be more steep. We say "a steep slope" meaning the slope rises at a sharp angle, that is difficult to climb. A wall is steep because it goes straight up.
Why is it difficult to ride on a slope?
If you're riding uphill, you have to overcome gravity as well, making riding harder work. If you're riding across the slope it'll change the angle of which the ground contacts the wheel which changes the balance of the bike. When the slope gets steep enought there won't be room for the pedal to clear the slope any more. Riding down a slope usually isn't a problem until it becomes real steep, when there's a risk of tipping over.
Why heavy truck reaches soon down from the slope and lighter did not do so?
MORE WEIGHT !!
What is the effect of slope on the speed of a moving object?
We'll generally see an object moving down a steeper slope gain speed more quickly than one moving down a more gradual incline. If you think about this, it makes sense, and it does so in this case because it is correct. A steeper slope makes for a faster acceleration.
Does more erosion occur on the top of a slope or the bottom?
I would imagine the bottom as the air gets thinner as you get higher and so the air would be more humid. Also there would more likely be a source of water further down the slope.
Southern slope of Himalayan Receive more rainfall than northern slope?
Yes. Southern Slope receives more rain.
What were the difficult challenges you had to overcome in job?
it was more thinking about, over coming how to take care of the citizens more then less thinking about another country.
Why does the supply curve slope down?
Actually, supply curve slops upward 9a positive slope). This is due to the fact that as price rises, suppliers would see more benefit in producing these goods (as being able to make more profit).
