How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance a toy car travels?

in our experiment the higher angle 60 degrees slow the car down because of the severity of impact where slope/ramp touch the floor. the middle angle 30 degrees had best result with smoothest transition.

∙ 10y agoThe taller the ramp, the faster the car will go. When you add speed, the car will go farther. If you have a flatter ramp, the car will not go as far.
ANS2:
At the angles of 0 degrees (flat) and 90 degrees (vertical) the car will not have forward momentum. Forward momentum off the ramp is maximized at 45 degrees.

Name 2 factors the affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
One factor is the height of the ramp. The higher the height of the ramp the further the car travels. Another factor is the surface of the ramp. With a rough surface on the ramp e.g sand paper the car travels a short distance. With a lubricated surface on the ramp e.g Vaseline the car will travel a very long distance.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
How will the angle of the ramp affect the speed of the marble?
if its steeper it'll go faster
Does the starting position of a ball on a ramp affect the distance it travels?
Yes, it does. The further up a ball is placed on a ramp, the greater the distance the ball travels. If launched from a lower starting position, then the ball shall travel a shorter distance. This is all true under Newton's second law, which states that Force = mass * acelaration(F= m*a). If the ball has to move something, i.e. a cup, then the rule applies as well.
What Two factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop?
Air resistance against the car as it travels and the friction of the wheels against the ground slows it down and so reduces the toy car's potential travelling distance The weight of the car\on the car, the slope of the ramp and the material the car lands on or on the ramp
Does the distance a toy car travels up a ramp affect its speed?
Yes.
How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance a toy car will travel?
the steeper the ramp, the farther the car goes. if your ramp is flatter, it won't go as far.

How does the length of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
In terms of physics, the length makes no difference.
How will the angle of a ramp affect the speed of a car going down it?
The larger the angle of the ramp, the faster the car will go down it.
Does changing the distance of a ramp affect the distance the car travel?
No.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
Does the distance a toy car travels down a ramp affect its speed?
yes This is because of the fact that gravity is a measure of acceleration. The longer the car has to accelerate the faster is will be by the end.

How does ramp angle affect speed?
it affects speed because it could make it go slower or faster
