If its heavier it will roll down faster, so its weight. And also what material is on the outside of the ball
Its weight does not affect the speed at which is rolls down the hill since weight refers to mass times the gravitational force applied to the ball. Mass would be more appropriately used than weight. Also, if the material on the outside of ball is smooth, the ball rolls down faster due to less friction being applied to the ball from the surface. If the ball's outside material is rough like sandpaper, it will move slower down an incline because there is more resistance (Force of friction) between the ball and the surface.
The first answer is mostly wrong. The second is mostly wrong.
The material on the outside of the ball will have an effect due to frictional forces.
The mass of the ball will have an effect, but in a complicated way. If the ball was sliding, it would be irrelevant, but it is not, so the moment of inertia must be considered. As a result, with uniform density, a heavier ball will roll slower. However, the distribution of the mass will also play a huge role, so knowing just the mass is not sufficient.
If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.
The ball has the potential to move down the slope when released.
At the top, since potential energy is referred to an objects location, the highest the object the highest its potential energy.
The potential energy that gathered as the ball was ascending rapidly converts to kinectic energy as the ball falls downwards, at a rate of 9.801 meters/second squared.

If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.
The acceleration due to gravity remains constant, regardless of incline. The fact that it is on an incline does not change the fact that it will remain constant, it will only change the component of that acceleration being applied to the ball.
The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.
The ball has the potential to move down the slope when released.
Usually it will roll.
Yes it would. Speed will depend on Weight of the ball, Incline angle, Friction, and air pressure.
The ball would roll downhill.
It has a negative (downward) slope.
He developed a hypothesis for the motion of physics by using a ball and an incline. He found that when a ball rolls down an incline, it accelerates towards the bottom of the incline. When a ball rolls up an incline, it decelerates. And when a ball is on a flat surface, it moves at a constant speed because a force acts downwards in the vertical direction. As Newton discovered after Galileo died, this particular force is gravity. It is also the force responsible for the acceleration and deceleration of a ball while rolling down and rolling up an incline, respectively.On a double incline, Galileo found that a ball returns to the same vertical height that it was released from. (see what a double incline is, and you'll get it)Also, he found that neither the angle nor the total distance travelled of a rolling ball matters, only vertical height.So in contrast to Aristotle's previous theory that the natural state of objects is at rest, Galileo discovered that the proper state of motion is not at rest, but to continue in its current state of motion. Galileo's experiments with the motion of balls is the basis for Newton's law of inertia (or his first law of motion).
The material of the ramp, the volume of the ball, and the mass of the ball.
