The acceleration of a tennis ball rolling down an incline depends with two factors. The force that is applied to the tennis ball and the mass of the tennis ball will determine its acceleration.

If the ball is rolling down a uniform plane, the acceleration remains constant.
Assuming the plane to be frictionless the value of acceleration will be equal to g times sin(Θ). (That is a = g x sin(Θ) where a is the acceleration, g is the acceleration due to gravity at the place and Θ is the angle between the plane and the horizontal.)
But if the slope is irregular or not uniform, the acceleration will vary.
Speed:
Since the ball has an acceleration, it's speed will change. The speed of a ball rolling down a sloped plane will keep on increasing.

Describe the motion of a ball in a typical sport?
Since a ball is a sphere the motion it makes is rolling. The rolling happens on the ground and in the air.
3 ways to accelerate?
To change the acceleration of a car: speed up, slow down or turn. Acceleration is any change in velocity. Velocity is "how fast" and in "what direction". To speed up is to accelerate (increase the velocity). To slow down is to deaccelerate (decrease the velocity) To turn is also a form of acceleration (changes the direction of the velocity).
Why does the force of gravity do no work on a bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley?
Work is definied in Physics as the Force acting on an object times the distance the object is moved by that Force, or W = fd Since Force is mass times acceleration (F=ma), and because the ball is on a surface that is perpendicular to the force exerted by gravity, there is no gravitational acceleration (a), hence no Force, so no Work is done by gravity.
When a broom falls does it accelerate or decelerate?
The falling motion of the broom is the acceleration of the broom The broom hitting the floor and slowing down is the deceleration of the broom. Remember, acceleration is the speeding up and deceleration is the slowing down (De is the Latin root meaning down, so down in speed/ decreasing in speed...)
Why is the ball deccelerating on an inclined plane?
The acceleration due to gravity remains constant, regardless of incline. The fact that it is on an incline does not change the fact that it will remain constant, it will only change the component of that acceleration being applied to the ball.
What happens to the speed and acceleration of a ball rolling down an irregular slope?
The answer will depend on the shape of the slope, and the trajectory that the ball follows.
What did Galileo discover about the amount of speed a ball gained each second when rolling down an inclined plane?
that it's speed increaded. Acceleration was at its upmost.
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.
Is a ball rolling an example of acceleration?
Not necessarily. If it's rolling in a straight line on a smooth and level floor, then the acceleration is as good as zero. But if the ball is rolling up a hill, or down a hill, or around the groove in a roulette wheel, or through grass and slowing down, then there's substantial acceleration.
Is there a relationship between the mas of a moving ball and its speed while rolling down an inclined plane?
Mass does not affect the acceleration of an object due to gravity. Any object of any size or mass will fall at the same speed. A ball rolling down an inclined plane is accelerated by gravity, so its speed won't be affected by its mass at all.
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.
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 the speed of a ball rolling down a ramp change with the kind of surfacce on which the ball is rolling?
yes it does. i just did the experiment.
If a ball rolls down a hill does its speed or acceleration increase?
If you roll a ball up a hill it undergoes negative upward and positive downward acceleration.
How do you calculate the acceleration of a ball that starts from rest and rolls down a ramp and gains a speed of 25 ms in 5 s?
Acceleration is the speed variation at a given time. Thus you must calculate the speed variation: Final speed - Initial speed = 25m/s-0m/s=25m/s The conscious then is performed over time.. t=5s Finally, the acceleration is a=(25m/s)/5s=5m/s2

Is a longer tube better for rolling speed?
Yes because it is just like a ball rolling down a hill; it obviously goes faster.
