Time can seem slower when our brain is actively engaged and processing a lot of information, making us more aware of each passing moment. Additionally, when we are bored or in a monotonous situation, our brain may perceive time as slower because it is not occupied with stimulating activities. Other factors like stress, anxiety, and anticipation can also distort our perception of time.

Does a marble roll faster than a person?

Yes, sometimes and no sometimes. In the case of rotating objects the more import value is moment of inertia. An object with a higher moment of inertia will accelerate slower (roll slower comparatively for any given time after release) down an inclined plane. In the case where the marbles are of equal diameter and uniform (although different if one is to have more mass) density the heavier marble will roll slower down a slope.
