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.

How is friction involved in trying to move something too heavy?
Well friction is caused by two things rubbing against each other (like rubbing your hands together and they get warm is an example of friction) so if you tried to move something to heavy you might end up dragging it and then it would be rubbing (scraping) against another surface thus creating friction.
Imagine that friction suddenly vanishes.How would life be affected. List ten such situations?
If friction suddenly vanished, the world would be difficult to navigate: Objects in motion would remain in motion. Using anything with wheels would be impossible. Sanding things would be impossible. Shoes would not wear down. Blades would never get dull. Fires couldn't be started by rubbing sticks together. Walking would be impossible Everything would fall into depression points. Navigation would have to be done using wind or gravity. Scrapes would not occur from falling.
Is it true that sonic's shoes make him faster?
It's true, because they're friction resistant. Sonic could never break the sound barrier with friction in his way. If you want more information on this, see Fleetway's (Fleetway is like Archie Sonic Comics, but based in Europe) the Origins of Sonic.
Does JK Rowlings have any say how the books of Harry Potter are made into a movie?
Some say. Before the final book was completed she would advise the producers into what could and couldn't be cut because it would affect future films.
Does the Caribbean's climate affect the Caribbean?
yes, indeed it does, say for example, the climate of the Caribbean changed from sunny and bright, to rainy and cold, tourists would not want to go to the Caribbean, then the Caribbean will not have as much money as they did when the tourists used to come. now you see that the Caribbean's climate can affect the Caribbean.
How do friction affect?
We would need to know what the friction is to affect to respond to this question.
Predict the effect that significant friction would have on the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline. Explain the cause of the predicted effect?
I have no clue.
Does friction affect your life?
Yes, because with out friction everything and/or every one would be slipping on the ground.
How would a reduction in friction in a stream channel affect the streams velocity?
As water in the stream channel flows, it encounters friction; the friction slows the forward movement. The shape,size, and roughness affect the amount of friction. High friction slows the stream significantly.
Does friction affect the period of a metronome?
Friction affects most every thing. In a mechanical metronome you would not need a power source if there were no friction.
How does friction affect the world?
Friction affects the world a lot. With out friction, we would have no grip. We will continuously slide. Nothing will stay still - unless stopped by a wall.
What is the force acting on a unit area of a surface?
That would be the "pressure" on the surface.
How much pressure to use for a pressure water pump?
That would depend on friction losses and fixture unit demands
When using the inclined plane what is the push or pull force?
(ignoring friction) > Mass of the object * sine (incline angle) = force down, and parallel to, the slope (kilograms force) This ratio ( force / mass) remains constant regardless of the objects mass, as long as the incline angle remains the same.
Why would shaking a container of small rubber balls affect its temperature?
Friction
If there was no friction what would that do to mechanical advantage and how would it affect efficiency?
Without friction, some forms of mechanical advantage do not function. In most cases for a mechanical apparatus, a reduction in friction is usually accompanied by an increase in efficiency.
How does friction affect roller coasters?
It holds the coaster down. Less friction makes it go faster.
