Yes, sometimes and no sometimes. In the case of rotating objects the more import value is moment of inertia. An object with a higher moment of inertia will accelerate slower (roll slower comparatively for any given time after release) down an inclined plane.
In the case where the marbles are of equal diameter and uniform (although different if one is to have more mass) density the heavier marble will roll slower down a slope.
For those interested in a short description followed by plenty of calculus.

Sit on to ride down a hill?
If there is snow on the hill a sled or toboggan can be used to ride down a hill.
Will a ball with less or heavier mass go further?
Normally, a ball with more mass would roll faster down a hill, but, it will go slower when kicked or rolled.
What has greater kinetic energy a 1 lb ball rolling down a hill a 200 lb person running down a hill or a car driving down a hill?
A car.
What runs up hill faster than down hill?
fire
What force helps pull soil down a hill in a mudslide?
The force is the mass of the soil times the acceleration down the hill due to gravity.
Is a mountain steeper than a hill?
Yes.A mountain is generally steeper than a hill because it is taller.
How do you make a club car go faster?
get a steeper hill
Show your working out Two roads have signs warning of a steep hill One says 1 to 8 another says 12percent Which is the steeper hill?
1 to 8 is the steeper hill. 1/8 is the same as .125, which is 12.5%.
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.
How do you use gradual in a sentence?
At the start of the hill the slope was very gradual but it quickly got steeper.
How do you use the word gradual in a sentence?
At the start of the hill the slope was very gradual but it quickly got steeper.
Does the toy car going down the ramp effect its speed?
Yes because the toy car will be forced to speed up the steeper the ramp it's like going down a hill on your bike you speed up because of OME'S law.
Is the Ram's franchise going downhill?
They are already at the bottom of the hill. Can't roll down any further.
When the lines on a map are close together what does that mean?
The lines on the map signify the height of a hill. The closer together they are the steeper the hill. At various points on these lines there may be numbers, these show the gradient of the hill... hope that helps!
What is a relational diagram give an example?
Something that will have a link/relationship to something else. For example: The relationship between the speed of a car, and the angle of a hill is: The steeper the hill, the faster the car will go.
What energy does a skierhas at topppof a hill and coming down a hill?
When skier is at the top of mountain he had kinetic energy which is further converted in to potential energy from the time when he start skiing from the top of the mountain.
How do you use down the hill in a sentence?
i whent down the hill.
