Why does a marble roll further on a tiled floor than a carpet?

Answer 1

The marble is really good at conducting heat away from your hand but because the carpet isn't as dense and has lots of air between the fibres it is not a very good heat conductor. Because the marble is a goodheat conductor it cools down your feet quickly and so they feel colder but the carpet cannot cool down your feet. An interesting experiment to try is to get three bowls and put hot water in one, cold water in another and a 50:50 mix of hot and cold in the third. Put one hand in the hot water and the other hand in the cold water for 20 seconds and then put them both into to third bowl. Try it but be careful that the water isn't too hot.

Answer 2

There is more friction on the carpet than on the tiled floor.

Friction is a force that causes objects to slow down when moving. It occurs everywhere whilst driving, riding a bike and rolling a marble.

On a carpet there is a larger surface area for the marble to rub against and this increases the amount of friction whilst the tiled floor has less surface area so there is less friction.

Hopefully this answers your question :)

Answer 3

A marble rolls further on a tiled floor compared to a carpet because the tile surface is smoother and offers less resistance to the rolling motion of the marble. The texture of the carpet creates more friction, which slows down the marble's movement.

Answer 4

Because Marble Absorb heat slowly & Relaease Heat Slowly. But Curpet works as heat insulator. therfore curpetted floor is less hotter than marbled floor.
