Mass (and weight) certainly does have an impact. Other factors that come into play are how much energy the engine exerts (a toy car with an engine that exerts the same amount of energy as a more massive toy car can travel faster on the same surface) and how much friction is generated by the wheels and the surface the toy car is traveling on. If the (toy) car is going down a ramp,if you add say another two or so grams, the car will travel faster

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.
Does the toy car going down the ramp effect its speed?
Yes because the toy car will be forced to speed up the steeper the ramp it's like going down a hill on your bike you speed up because of OME'S law.
Does mass affect speed when you put pennies on a toy car and let go down a ramp?
Yes, As a Boy scout we would weight our cars so that they would travel faster.
How does friction affect the distance traveled by a toy car after rolling down a ramp?
at the top of the ramp the toy has a certain amount of potential energy. The amount of this energy depends on the height of the ramp and the weight of the toy. (The toy's weight is dependent on its mass and the force of gravity.) As the toy rolls down the ramp this potential energy is converted to two other types of energy: Kinetic energy and heat energy. The amount of heat energy depends on friction and air resistance. The lower the total resistance the more kinetic energy, and the more speed, the toy has at the bottom of the ramp.
Would you weigh a toy car in ounces or pounds?
Well, that depends on the size and weight of the toy car! If weighing a tiny Matchbook (TM) toy car, it would most certainly be in ounces. If it was a toy car a child could scoot, push with their feet, or pedal as the child rides it, it would likely weigh pounds.
How does weight affect speed of a toy car?
All other factors being equal, a heavier toy car will move slower than a lighter toy because of it's weight.
Grahically determine how the speed changes when masses are added to the toy car?
Do the experiment (I assume it is a toy car rolling down a slope or being pulled by a weight or something similar and you are to do it with different weights in the toy car)Plot the results of all the trials on the same graph (use different colors for each weight)Compare the lines of the graph
How does the size of a toy car affect its speed?
It would affect its speed because the weight of the car is gonna slow it down
Does the weight of a toy car impact its speed going down a ramp?
Yes
The weight of a toy car?
depends on the weight of it
What influences the speed of a toy car?
There are many factors that can influence the speed of a toy car, some of these factors may include:- aerodynamics: the way the air passes along and around the toy car at high speeds; the more aerodynamic, the higher the speeds it will reach.- quality of wheels: this may seem a bit odd but the quality and resistance of the toy cars wheels will greatly effects the speed of the car; the smoother the better.- weight: The amount of weight the toy car has determines the velocity of the car; the lighter it is the quicker it will accelerate and reach higher speeds however heavier cars can reach even greater speeds.I hope this information has answered your question.
How does the size and shape of wheels affects the speed of a mousetrap powered toy car?
It is depended on the shape of the wheels to determine how much friction is applied.
What is the Relationship between weight and speed?
Think about it as a toy car on a wooden track. The more the car weighs, the more friction between the car and track. Therefore, reducing speed(b/c of friction). Hope this helps!
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.
Will the size of a toy car effect the speed of it?
Yes it will affect the speed of the toy car. Example: A buggy is easier to push without any groceries in it.
What is the weight of a toy car?
This depends on the size of the toy car and material the toy car was built with. Ask this questions again with the proper information, please.
What is the difference between slot car toys and regular toy cars?
A slot car toy is an automatic toy car and can move by itself and a regular toy car you move yourself. The only difference is they can speed on their own!
