Why does the distance of a toy car increase when the height of the ramp is increased?

The car experiences greater acceleration from a steeper incline (i.e. you added energy to the system by raising the ramp). The car can then go further due to the increased force (F=ma).

How would the input force needed to push a wheelchair up a ramp change if you increase the height of the ramp but not its length?
The input force would increase as the height of the ramp increased. It wouldn't matter the distance. Ask me another one.

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
Does ramp height effect a model cars distance?
yes

The effort needed would increase.
What will happen to the effort force if the height of a ramp is increase?
More force will be required to push an object along the ramp.
Why do you think the horse moved faster when you made the ramp higher?
If the ramps height was increased, but not the length then it will become steeper and the horse will need to pick up more speed to gain enough momentum to get up the ramp. If the ramps length were increased, as well as the height, so that it stayed at the same angle, then the horse would likely not need to increase it's speed.
Name 2 factors the affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
One factor is the height of the ramp. The higher the height of the ramp the further the car travels. Another factor is the surface of the ramp. With a rough surface on the ramp e.g sand paper the car travels a short distance. With a lubricated surface on the ramp e.g Vaseline the car will travel a very long distance.
You are an avid skateboarder and just skated down a ramp You want to find the distance you traveled The height of the ramp at its tallest part is 40 inches and the horizontal length is 81 inches Ca?
You are an avid skateboarder and just skated down a ramp. You want to find the distance you traveled. The height of the ramp at its tallest part is 40 inches and the horizontal length is 81 inches. Calculate the distance, to the nearest whole inch, you traveled down the ramp.
What is the relationship between the differences in height of a ramp and the total distance an object can travel starting at each height?
This is a bad question.
How do you increase the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?
the formula for the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane is the length divide by the height.
