If the surface material is smoother and slipperier, the toy car will go faster. However, if the surface material is bumpier, then the toy car will not go as far.

Does the ramp surface effect the speed of a car?

yes, of course different surface different amount of friction

It is alright for the surface of the ramp but not for the structure of the ramp.


If a ramp were coated with with a smoother surface the ramp's efficiency would?

The smoother the surface of a ramp, the greater is the danger of a vehicle slipping and losing traction.A wet, smooth ramp could cause a pedestrian to slip over and be hurt.

Is it true that a car sitting at the bottom of the ramp has potential energy?

It depends on where the zero potential energy level is taken. If it is the ground, and the car is at the bottom of a ramp ON A TABLE, then it will have Ep. If the bottom of the ramp was taken as the zero Ep level, then it will have zero Ep.


Does the type of ramp surface effect the distance the toy car will roll?

Well let's see..if one surface is tape and one is glass...nah it doesn't matter the car will roll the same.


How does ramps work?

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.


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.


Does height effect potentail energy?

yes height effects potentail energy because if you have a meter stick and a ramp at 50 centemeters with a block at the bottom then roll a ball down the ramp the block at the bottom will go pretty long but if you put the ramp higher the block will go longer
