Would an ice block or a wood block slide down a hill faster?

An ice block would slide down a hill faster than a wood block due to its lower friction coefficient with the surface. Ice has a smoother surface compared to wood, allowing it to glide more easily down the hill.


What could you do to determine whether a softball will roll down a hill faster than a basketball?

You could calculate the acceleration due to gravity for both the softball and basketball, taking into consideration their mass and shape. If the softball has a lower moment of inertia and less rolling resistance compared to the basketball, it is likely to roll down the hill faster. Conducting a simple experiment by rolling both objects down the hill and measuring their velocity at the bottom could also provide a practical indication of which object rolls faster.


Why does a person riding a bike down a steep hill accelerate faster than on a gradual hill?

The acceleration of the bike will depend on the general shape of the hill(ie. it's slope along the line of movement). If you don't take any friction into account, yes, the speed of the bike at the bottom will be greater if it goes from the bigger(ie. higher) hill.


Why is a ball rolling down a hill an unblanced force?

When a ball rolls down a hill, several forces are acting on it. The force of gravity pulling the ball downward is greater than the force of friction pushing against it, causing the ball to accelerate. This imbalance between the forces of gravity and friction is why the ball rolls down the hill.


Why the sand on the beach cools down faster than the ocean water?

Sand has a lower heat capacity and thermal conductivity compared to water, causing it to cool down faster when exposed to cooler air temperatures. Water has a higher heat capacity and retains heat longer, thus cooling down more slowly than sand.

Why does a biker going down a hill is faster than a biker going down the hill?

gravity is the one to blame . gravity pulls down the biker closer to earth so it goes faster going down and slower going down

Why when you go down the hill with a bicycle you go faster than you go on a flat surface?

Because you are helped along by gravity


Why does milk freeze faster than whine?

In a nut shell, because heat transfers faster from hotter to colder, like how a car will roll down a steep hill faster that it will roll down a hill that is less steep.


Why does a bus going uphill travel more slowly than going downhill?

because if you going down hill its faster because its a mountain

Does paper break down faster than plastic?

yes paper breaks down faster than plastic


There are 3 people number 1 is faster than number 2 number 2 is faster than number 3 number 3 is faster than number 1 who's the fastest?

It is impossible to answer because 1 runs faster than 2, 2 runs faster than 3, but 3 runs faster than 1. This is an example of a circular argument to which there is no solution. Unless of course it is a riddle.


Will recursion runs faster than loops?

no.


By what order of magnitude is something that runs in nanoseconds faster than something that runs in milliseconds?
