Will a heavy toy car go faster than a lighter toy car go down a ramp?

Yes. The weight of the car will cause the force of gravity to push it down with seemingly more force than the lighter car. And so this would make the car go faster down a slanted surface, which is the ramp.

∙ 13y agoweight won't affect it. like a feather and Bowling ball falling in a vacuum, gravity affects them the same. two cars of different weights should travel at the same speed. however air resistance does come into play in real world situations and that would affect the lighter car

The area is bigger so big wheel goes further than smaller wheel.

How does the mass of a toy car affect its speed going down a ramp?
The weight of the car will cause the force of gravity to push it down with seemingly more force than the lighter car. And so this would make the car go faster down a slanted surface, which is the ramp.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
A cart is rolling down a ramp if the angle of the ramp is increased to make the ramp steeper the cart will do what?
The cart will go faster if the angle increases.
Why does a heavy toy car go faster than a lighter toy car and get acorss a jump?
A heavier toy car is better to go down a ramp and make a jump better than a light car because the heavier the toy car is, the faster gravity will force it to roll down the ramp, and with all its speed, be able to make the jump. Of course, you wouldn't want to make the toy car so heavy so that it barely or doesn't move at all. Just like drops of water when it's raining outside and a few drops hit your window. The heavier drops drip off faster than the smaller ones, and that goes the same with cars, too.
How does weight effect speed down a ramp?
Yes, the weight of an object going down a ramp has an effect on its speed. Imagine a ramp . one with nothing in it , and a nothing with a person. a ramp or hill . and you give each a push at the same time which one will get down faster , the one with more weight because the force of the person on the front will make it faster. or you could do one at a time , and time each . either way the one with more weight is faster.

Do dents in a can make the can go down a ramp faster?
no it does not
How will the angle of a ramp affect the speed of a car going down it?
The larger the angle of the ramp, the faster the car will go down it.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
A cart is rolling down a ramp if the angle of the ramp is increased to make the ramp steeper the cart will do what?
The cart will go faster if the angle increases.
Does a car go faster or slower down a ramp?
Generally, the car should go faster.

When you add more mass to a toy car will it go faster slower or the same down a ramp?
Faster. You see, adding more mass to the object pulls it down faster than when it had a lesser amount. Now that you've added more mass to your car, the gravitational pull will allow it to zoom on down the ramp. Forget about driving that thing UP the ramp! (:

Is velocity changing if a cart is going down a ramp?
The velocity increases due to the fact, the ramp is facing downwards in a certain angle. The longer the ramp, the faster the cart will travel!
The heavier a ball is the faster it fall and the faster it will roll down a ramp?
Yes, that is true because of kinetic energy, If something is heavy and you roll it down fast, then kinetic energy builds up.All other things being equal the mass of the ball has no effect on its acceleration. A fact discovered by Galileo.
Why would a crayon roll down a ramp but need force to move up a ramp?
The heavy the crayon, it will roll down but it needs force to move it back up
