Yes
Friction between the wheels and the ramp and also friction between the body of the car and the air (unless the car and ramp are in a perfect vacuum)
There will be additional friction in the bearings or ball race of the wheel / axle too

Which toy car rolls the farthest down a ramp?
A plastic toy car
How far will a toy car travel after rolling down a ramp?
it all depends on the height of either the ramp or how far up the ramp the toy car rolls from
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.
How does the size of the wheels affect the distance of a toy car rolls down a ramp. hypothesis?
There are three possible hypotheses:Smaller wheels means car rolls slower.Wheel size makes no difference.Smaller wheels means car rolls faster.Take your pick and then use the data to test your hypothesis.
How fast can a toy car go down a tile ramp?
In optimal conditions such as infinite runway, performed in a vacuum, with a constant gravitational pull and a zero friction ramp the car could travel at the speed of light. For anything else it would depend on the ramp and the car. Also at what point you stop calling a ramp a ramp and start calling it a drop.

What makes a toy car go slow down a ramp?
I think it's to do with friction and the material you have on your ramp.
In Lab 1 what force slowed the car down after it came down the ramp?
friction
Does the texture of a ramp matter when you roll a car down?
Yes, it affects the friction.
How do you stop a toy car from going down a ramp?
Either decrease the slope of the ramp, increase the friction on the axels of the car, or make the tires stick to the ramp in some fashion.
Would a toy car go faster or slower down a ramp with sandpaper compared to a ramp with no sandpaper?
-- Steeper ramp.-- Lower friction in the wheel and axle bearings of the car.-- Better aerodynamic streamlining of the shape of the car.-- Make the car of iron and conceal a large magnet at the bottom of the ramp.
How does the weight of a toy car affect the car rolls down a ramp?
In school mechanics it does not. The force acting on the car is directly proportional to its mass (its weight adjusted for the incline of the ramp). The acceleration of the car is inversely proportional to this force. The overall result is that the mass of the car does not affect its motion. In more advanced mechanics, where friction and drag are taken into account, things start getting more complicated.
Can the roughness of a ramp slow down a toy car?
Yes. Roughness is a general term that refers to more friction, and friction will slow motion.

2 factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
Gravity and friction !
