Well it depends. If the ball is too heavy than it won't move. If a ball is too light won't travel that far. If it's around the middle then it will travel really far if its launched at full force.

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 mass affect the distance an object can travel when catapulted?

well yes it does the heavier the object being launched it wont go as far as the lighter one


Which bullet can travel farther 9mm or caliber 40?

A 9 mm by a little, because it travels about 13 to 14 hundred feet per second.. And is lighter, And most 40 s&w travel at about 1100 feet per second and are Heavy

Does the angle of a catapult affect the distance of a ball?

Hello: * Yes, the angle of a catapult does affect the distance. And this applies to both changing the angle of the catapult and changing the angle of the terrain under the catapult. If you shoot the catapult at say 45 degrees, you have very good distance. If you shoot it at 30 degrees, while it may be further, it would be lower to the ground and perhaps not travel as far hitting trees and running into wind-shear. If you shoot at say 80 degrees, while the lob goes high up in the air, it won't travel very far. So your best bet, for maximum distance, is to take your catapult to the highest possible altitude, aim for 45 degrees, taking into account the wind direction and speed, and lob away. Don't hit anyone. :) Answer Actually, the maximum distance that can be achieved from a catapult is at an angle of 45 degrees. Every degree increase from 0 up to 45 approaches the maximum distance that something can be thrown. Every degree from 45 to 90 decreases the distance.

How fast can a lorry go go?

It depends on the lorry, if it's heavier or carrying heavier things then it will have to travel slower. If it's lighter or carrying lighter things then it can travel faster.

Do dominant alleles move farther in electrophoresis?

Not always. Different chromosomal fragments travel different distances in electrophoresis due to their different lengths. Longer fragments are heavier and therefore travel shorter distances under the same electrical force.


Will a 22 caliber bullet travel father than a 45 caliber bullet fired from a handgun?

If you mean "farther" yes, generally speaking, a .22 will travel further than a .45. The .45 is a much heavier bullet and loses velocity at a faster rate.

What is an example of the average speed of the particles in a substance?

At room temperature, atoms travel at roughly the speed of sound. Since at a given temperature, the average momentum of the molecules of different substances are the same and since momentum is mv (mass times velocity) a lighter atom or molecule is traveling faster than a heavier one. The lighter molecule has the same momentum (temperature) as the heavier molecule and so is moving faster.


Where to you go when you get sucked into a tornado?

You don't go anywhere in particular. Anything that gets picked up by a tornado usually gets deposited somewhere later along its track. Lighter objects tend to travel farther.
