If a ball rolls down an incline from left to right the slope of that incline is what?

Negative positive (apex)


A ball sitting at the top of an incline has?

The ball has the potential to move down the slope when released.


The ball rolling down an incline has its maximum potential energy at what point?

At the top, since potential energy is referred to an objects location, the highest the object the highest its potential energy.


When A ball rolls down a slope ramp the acceleration is?

increasing


Would friction or air pressure affect how fast a ball rolls down a incline?

Yes it would. Speed will depend on Weight of the ball, Incline angle, Friction, and air pressure.


If a ball rolls foul then hits right corner of 1st base then rolls in after 1st base is it fair or foul?

As soon as the ball touches first base, it is a fair ball, regardless of what happens after that.


Why should cat food go faster on a slope than soup?

Soup just draaaaiiiiins its way down, slowly, while a ball of catfood rolls down the slope quite quickly.


What did Galileo discover while under house arrest?

He developed a hypothesis for the motion of physics by using a ball and an incline. He found that when a ball rolls down an incline, it accelerates towards the bottom of the incline. When a ball rolls up an incline, it decelerates. And when a ball is on a flat surface, it moves at a constant speed because a force acts downwards in the vertical direction. As Newton discovered after Galileo died, this particular force is gravity. It is also the force responsible for the acceleration and deceleration of a ball while rolling down and rolling up an incline, respectively.On a double incline, Galileo found that a ball returns to the same vertical height that it was released from. (see what a double incline is, and you'll get it)Also, he found that neither the angle nor the total distance travelled of a rolling ball matters, only vertical height.So in contrast to Aristotle's previous theory that the natural state of objects is at rest, Galileo discovered that the proper state of motion is not at rest, but to continue in its current state of motion. Galileo's experiments with the motion of balls is the basis for Newton's law of inertia (or his first law of motion).


If a ball rolls down a hill does its speed or acceleration increase?

If you roll a ball up a hill it undergoes negative upward and positive downward acceleration.


Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane a large ball or a small ball?

If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.


Which will have the greater acceleration rolling down an incline plane- a large ball or a small ball?

If they are both solid, and the incline is the same, the rate of acceleration will be the same.


Why is the ball deccelerating on an inclined plane?

The acceleration due to gravity remains constant, regardless of incline. The fact that it is on an incline does not change the fact that it will remain constant, it will only change the component of that acceleration being applied to the ball.
