Yes. The viscosity, smoothness, slant, hardness and other factors of the surface would affect the distance a ball would travel. For example, a ball will travel much farther down a wet aluminum slide than up a sand dune.

What can change distance an object travels?

The distance an object travels can be changed by altering its speed, time of travel, or route taken. Factors like friction, air resistance, and incline of the surface can also affect the distance traveled by an object.


- Does the air pressure of different balls effect the distance?

Yes, the air pressure in a ball can affect the distance it travels. Overinflated or underinflated balls may not travel as far as properly inflated balls because the amount of air pressure can impact the ball's bounce and flight trajectory.


Does the distance affect the body's acceleration moving in a straight line whose accelerationis constant?

No, distance does not affect the body's acceleration when moving in a straight line with constant acceleration. The acceleration of an object depends only on the force acting on it, not the distance it travels. The acceleration will remain constant unless a different force is applied.


What two factors affect the clarity of an echo?

The distance between the listener and the reflecting surface, as well as the reflective properties of the surface, can affect the clarity of an echo. The further the distance and the more absorbent the surface, the less clear the echo will be.


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.

How does the size of the paper plane affect the distance it fly's?

The size of the paper does affect the distance it travels, but it also makes it heavier.

Does stitching effect the distance of a soccer ball?

No this is simply to hold the ball together, it does not affect the distance the ball travels in any way.
