Why does a car go faster if a ramp is steeper?
It will go faster because if you have a small/non-steep ramp the car will go slow and the ending point wont be that far, but if you have a ramp that is bigger/steeper the car will go faster and the ending point will be far.
Will a car go faster down a ramp or on a flat surface?
gravity pulls objects down and when a car is on the ground.but when it is on a ramp it moves and goes and goes and stops because gravity pulls is down to the ground and when it is on a flat area it moves a little but its like its on the ground cause of gravity.
Does the distance a toy car travels down a ramp affect its speed?
yes This is because of the fact that gravity is a measure of acceleration. The longer the car has to accelerate the faster is will be by the end.
Does the fastest car always travel the farthest?
Nope. The faster car could be traveling in circles, or starting and stopping repeatedly, while the slower car could continue on farther.
Did the height of the ramp increase the distance the car rolled?
if the ramp forms a very steep gradient, definately the car will roll for a longer distance. On the contrary, if the gradient formed by the ramp is gentle, then it will roll for a shorter distance
If a toy car is being pushed down the ramp if you put sandpaper on the ramp does this make the car go faster or slower?
Slower, due to increased friction.
Would a toy car go faster or slower down a ramp with sandpaper compared to a ramp with no sandpaper?
Sand paper causes FRICTION...which makes the car go slower. So a toy car would go faster down a ramp with no sand paper.
If a toy car has weight added to it and then sent down a ramp will it go slower or faster?
If the toy car's ramp is on 45 degrees and if the toy car is put on some weight, the toy car will go faster because it goes faster, which makes the car go further.
Would a toy car with mass go faster or slower down a ramp?
same speed horizontally, acceleration is downwards
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! (:
When you add more mass to a toy car will it go faster slower or the same speed down a ramp?
It will go faster, just like a boy scout pine wood derby car.
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
Does the height of a ramp effect the speed of a car?
If you are talking about a car rolling down a ramp then yes. The taller the ramp the more momentum the car will create there for the car will travel farther and faster.
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.
What would make a toy car go down a ramp faster?
-- Steeper ramp.-- Lower friction in the wheel and axle bearings of the car.-- Better aerodynamic streamlining of the shape of the car.-- Make the car of iron and conceal a large magnet at the bottom of the ramp.
