The cross sectional area of a car is dependent on its height. As the area changes the drag on the car, it is likely that increasing the height of a car will also reduce its top speed. There are many other factors that affect a car's maximum speed so a change in height may not always result in a change in top speed.

Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?

Yes, the height of a ramp will impact a toy car's speed going down it. A steeper ramp will generally result in a faster descent due to the increased gravitational pull. Conversely, a lower ramp will lead to a slower speed as there is less gravitational force acting on the car.


How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?

The mass of a car affects its speed down a ramp by influencing its inertia and gravitational force. A heavier car will accelerate slower than a lighter car due to its greater resistance to change in motion caused by its mass. However, once in motion, both cars will experience the same acceleration due to gravity down the ramp.


How does mass affect the speed of a car?

Well i know a lot about mass. MASS is how big and heavy the car is when running so if your car is very wide then mass will have a affect on it more than if it was a smaller car.The person who answered this oviously didnt know a lot about mass and didnt even answer the ques. A big car will be tougher to run because of the air resistance.


Does the weight of a toy car impact its speed going down a ramp?

Yes, the weight of a toy car can impact its speed going down a ramp. Heavier cars may have more momentum and force, which can make them travel faster down the ramp compared to lighter cars with less momentum. However, factors like friction and the angle of the ramp can also affect the speed of the car.


How does the speed of the combined cars compare to the speed of the car before the collision when a parked car is hit by a moving car and the two cars stick together?

The combined VELOCITY of two cars that crash will be somewhere between that of the individual cars. In this case, the combined speed will be less than the speed of the car that was moving before the crash.If you know the velocities and the masses, the exact speeds can be calculated using conservation of momentum.

Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?

Does the height of the ramp affect the speed of the car?

Yes,if you are going at 100 mph and you go down a steep hill your speed on speedometer does not go higher but your car actually gains speed no it does not, the height of the ramp affects the distance ,not the speed.Laws of physics apply here.


How does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a car?

The height of a ramp affects the speed of a car because the higher the ramp the faster the car will come down. The higher up the ramp the more momentum the car will gain. People take delight in pooping. Pooping is thought by some to be a joyous activity.


What limits a cars speed?

There are a variation of things that affect the limit of a cars speed, primarily the horsepower and torque ratings of the car, in comparison to the weight of the car, but even with high ratings in comparison to weight, most cars also have a governing chip in the computer system, that shuts of the valves at a certain designated speed. I hope this answers your question.
