Potential energy on a skatepark ramp occurs when a skater reaches the top of the ramp and has the potential to do work as they move downwards due to gravity. As the skater climbs up the ramp, potential energy increases as the skater gains height from the ground. When the skater moves down the ramp, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Changing the height of the ramp will affect the potential energy of the object on the ramp. As the height increases, potential energy also increases. When the object moves down the ramp, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Therefore, a higher ramp will result in higher kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp.
Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
When moving down a ramp, a car gains potential energy due to its elevated position and kinetic energy as it increases in speed. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the car accelerates down the ramp.
If it were released from the top of the ramp, the cart would have maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp since the gravitational energy at the top of the ramp is converted into the kinetic energy of the cart.
A marble at the top of a ramp would have more potential energy due to its position, while a marble rolling down the ramp would have more kinetic energy due to its motion.

Potential Energy changes to Kinetic Energy.
Any ramp can.

It depends on where the zero potential energy level is taken. If it is the ground, and the car is at the bottom of a ramp ON A TABLE, then it will have Ep. If the bottom of the ramp was taken as the zero Ep level, then it will have zero Ep.
If it were released from the top of the ramp, the cart would have maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp since the gravitational energy at the top of the ramp is converted into the kinetic energy of the cart.
It has Potential energy.
A marble at the top of a ramp would have more potential energy due to its position, while a marble rolling down the ramp would have more kinetic energy due to its motion.
Potential Energy of the ball on the shallow ramp and the ball on the steep ramps are different: PE = mass x gravity x height. This potential energy is converted to Kinetic energy or motion energy. KE = 1/2mv^2. If there is more potential energy to convert to Kinetic energy then it will result in increased speed.
RASP does have a mini ramp, its a 4ft mini (its pretty nice). it usually gets crowded quickly though
The Object moving down the Ramp will have its POTENTIAL Energy (Speed=0) at the top of the Ramp changed to Kinetic Energy as it travels DOWN the Ramp. For any given INCLINE the LENGTH of the Ramp will dictate its HEIGHT. The higher the top of the ramp, the greater the Potential Energy to be Converted into Kinetic Energy. The Formula for K.E. is : K.E. = 1/2 Mass x Velocity2 (the 2 means Squared) So as the Potential Energy increases so does the Kinetic Energy. while the Mass is a Constant. Therefore the Velocity MUST increase as well to balance the K.E. equation.
