The net force acting on a car rolling down a ramp is the result of the gravitational force pulling it downwards and any frictional forces resisting its motion. Generally, the net force will be equal to the component of the gravitational force parallel to the ramp minus the frictional force.

What must be true about the forces in order for a car to roll down a ramp?
The force of gravity must be greater than the force of friction between the ramp and the car's wheels. This allows the car to overcome the resistance and move down the ramp.
If a car moving at a constant speed up a ramp?
If a car is moving at a constant speed up a ramp, the force propelling the car up the ramp is equal and opposite to the force of gravity pulling it down the ramp. This means that the net force acting on the car is zero, allowing it to maintain a constant speed. This scenario is possible if the car's engine power matches the force of gravity.
2 factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
Two factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp are the angle of the ramp and the surface friction. A steeper ramp will give the car more initial speed, leading to a longer stopping distance. Additionally, greater surface friction will slow down the car more quickly, resulting in a shorter stopping distance.
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.
Why a greater force is needed to push a car up a ramp?
When pushing a car up a ramp, gravity is pulling the car back down the incline. To counteract this gravitational force and move the car upwards, a greater force is needed to overcome the resistance caused by gravity. This is why a greater force is required to push a car up a ramp compared to on a flat surface.
Does the height of a ramp effect the speed of a car?
If you are talking about a car rolling down a ramp then yes. The taller the ramp the more momentum the car will create there for the car will travel farther and faster.
How far will a toy car travel after rolling down a ramp?
it all depends on the height of either the ramp or how far up the ramp the toy car rolls from
What stops a car after rolling down a ramp?
An equal or opposing force. fool. Also friction could stop it, EX: the toy car stops because it goes into grass.
What must be true about the forces in order for a car to roll down a ramp?
The force of gravity must be greater than the force of friction between the ramp and the car's wheels. This allows the car to overcome the resistance and move down the ramp.
Which is the main force that causes a toy car to roll down a ramp?
The gravitational force is.
Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).
In Lab 1 what force slowed the car down after it came down the ramp?
friction

When the toy car is placed at the top of the ramp what force acts upon the car to make it slide donw the ramp?
gravity pulls it down....but of course inertia
