How does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a rolling object?

At the bottom of the ramp, the higher the ramp the faster the speed, ignoring frictionl forces
The speed varies as the square root of the height

What can affect the speed of a runner?
height tailwinds or headwinds.
How does distance and time affect the speed from object?
Distance and time do not, in general, affect the speed. Speed, however, can affect distance or time. Distance is directly proportional to speed, time is inversely proportional.
Does changing the height of a ramp affect the speed of the car going down the ramp?
Changing the slope of the ramp will affect the speed of the vehicle going down it.
How can height affect the time for an object to fall?
The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second, per second. This means that --eliminating any obvious aerodynamic considerations as there would be with, say, a feather -- the speed at which an object falls increases proportionately to the time it is falling. An object falling from a greater height will be falling for a longer time period and thus will reach a higher velocity and impact the ground with a greater force than one falling from a lower height.
Does the height of a ramp effect the speed of a car?
If you are talking about a car rolling down a ramp then yes. The taller the ramp the more momentum the car will create there for the car will travel farther and faster.
Does the texture of what something is rolling on affect its speed?
Yes, the texture of what something is rolling on can affect its speed. Rough surfaces create more friction, slowing down the object. Smooth surfaces have less friction, allowing the object to roll faster.
Does the mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
How does mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
Looking for the height of something if the mass is 0.5 kg and the velocity is 10 meters per second?
This is completely unrelated to the height. An object at that mass, and speed, can be at any height.This is completely unrelated to the height.

How does height affect potential energy and kinetic energy?
Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
Is there a relationship between the mas of a moving ball and its speed while rolling down an inclined plane?
Mass does not affect the acceleration of an object due to gravity. Any object of any size or mass will fall at the same speed. A ball rolling down an inclined plane is accelerated by gravity, so its speed won't be affected by its mass at all.
Which of these would change the direction of an object but not affect the object's speed?
Circular motion would change the direction of an object but would not affect the object's speed.
Would the weight of a ball affect its rolling speed?
yes
Increasing the speed of an object does not affect that object's what?
mass
Does a mass of an object affect the speed of it?
Yes
What can affect the speed of a runner?

Is it possible to predict the speed of a marble after rolling down a ramp if you know the height of the ramp?
no impossible
