The steeper the slope of a ramp, the greater the amount of force or energy required to move an object up the ramp. A steeper slope will require more work to overcome gravity and friction compared to a shallower slope.
A steeper ramp will result in a faster speed and greater acceleration compared to a less steep ramp. This is because the gravitational force acting on the object is stronger on a steeper ramp, leading to a greater push down the slope.
The steepness of the ramp and the weight of the ball would affect the amount of force needed to move the ball up the ramp. A steeper ramp or a heavier ball would require more force to overcome gravity and friction.
Yes, the length of a ramp can affect the amount of force needed to move an object up it. A longer ramp might require less force to move an object compared to a shorter ramp, as the incline is more gradual. The force needed can also depend on the weight and friction of the object being moved.
The height and length give an inclination angle. If you assume a straight ramp, this angle is arctan(height/length). Beware: length is measured over ground, i.e. horizontally. The force needed to raise a mass over such an ramp is sin(angle)*mass*gravitational_constant Beware: friction neglected here, example: steel ball rolling up a extreme hard, flat surface. The force of gravity acts vertically downwards on the object, and it is the component of this force down the slope that has to be overcome in order to raise the load, plus any frictional force opposing the movement. The applied force will be least if the force is directed parallel to the slope
To find a ramp's mechanical advantage, you would calculate the ratio of the length of the slope to the height of the slope. This ratio indicates how much force is required to move an object up the ramp compared to lifting it vertically.
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
A steeper ramp will result in a faster speed and greater acceleration compared to a less steep ramp. This is because the gravitational force acting on the object is stronger on a steeper ramp, leading to a greater push down the slope.
The maximun slope of an ADA ramp is 8.3% or 12:1.
The steepness of the ramp and the weight of the ball would affect the amount of force needed to move the ball up the ramp. A steeper ramp or a heavier ball would require more force to overcome gravity and friction.

The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.

it depends...a ramp with transitions at top and bottom can be steeper than one without, because severe change in slope can cause the vehicle to bottom out.
