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 time slow down in space?
Time is relative to the speed of the observer and the faster an observer travels at the slower time will appear for him. So time slows down with speed not with distance.
How does the length of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
In terms of physics, the length makes no difference.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
How does distance affect speed when using dominoes?
i think that the farther the distance you have, the speed will increase. this is because gravity is pulling it down with force(speed). But when I was doing the experiment in the lab, it seems that as the distance has increased, the time for all the dominoes was also increased and thus this shows that the speed for the dominoes to fall decreased.
Does light slow down when it travels through matter?
Light slows down when it travels through matter.The only time light travels at is maximum speed, c, is in a vacuum.
What happens to the speed of a wave as it travels from a liquid to a solid?
it slows down
How does distance and time affect speed?
Speed affects distance and time. The faster you go, relative to a stationary object, the more your time slows down and distance shrinks according to the stationary observer. However, you would notice nothing unusual time would progress normally and your distance would be the same according to you. According to you, you would see the stationary observer grow in distance and see there time speed up.
A ball rolling down an incline has its minimum speed?
The minimum speed for a ball rolling down an incline occurs near the top. Gravity will speed the ball up as it travels down.
Does light speed up as it travels through water?
No, light does not speed up in water, it slows down.
Does sound travels faster downwind than upwind?
Sound travels faster downwind. The speed at which sound travels is relative to the medium it is moving through. When sound is traveling upwind, you subtract the wind speed from the speed of sound. When it is traveling down wind you add the wind speed.
If a car travels 840km between Mackay and Port Douglas at an average speed of 70km/h, how long will the trip take?
Remember the 'speed' equation speed = distance / time Algebraically rearrange time = distance / speed Substitute the numbers . time = 840 km / 70 kmhr^.-1 Divide the number and cancel down the 'km'. time = 12 hrs.
If a wave travels down the length of a 25-meter rope in 5.0 seconds The speed of the wave is?
5 metres per second. V (velocity) = Distance/Time = 25/5 = 5
