yes, it does. Since gravity effects the car going up a ramp, and the independant variable is the amout of gravity acting upon the car (weight), the more the weight, the slower the car goes up, and since the momentum of the car is weakened, it doesn't go as far. Think of newton 2nd law of motion: The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma (in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector).

The object's mass also effects it's speed and acceleration, it makes the car take more force in order to move it up the ramp if it's mass is increased. thus, proving the answer: yes.

How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance a toy car will travel?

the steeper the ramp, the farther the car goes. if your ramp is flatter, it won't go as far.


How does the increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down ramp?

how does increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down the ramp


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


Why does a car go faster if a ramp is steeper?

It will go faster because if you have a small/non-steep ramp the car will go slow and the ending point wont be that far, but if you have a ramp that is bigger/steeper the car will go faster and the ending point will be far.


How far can a toy car go on a ramp?

The distance a toy car can travel on a ramp depends on factors like the incline of the ramp, the initial velocity of the car, and any friction present. In general, a toy car on a ramp can roll for a distance equivalent to the length of the ramp if there is no significant friction or obstacles in its path.


How far will a toy car go after going down a ramp?

That depends on the toy car's weight, size, and the length and height of the ramp. Use science and math to figure this out.


How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance a toy car travels?

in our experiment the higher angle 60 degrees slow the car down because of the severity of impact where slope/ramp touch the floor. the middle angle 30 degrees had best result with smoothest transition.


What is the effect of surface material on how far a toy car will roll from the bottom of a ramp?

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 weight of a toy car affect how far it jumps off the ramp?

Well technically yes, but to an extremely small amount. Weight = mass x strength of gravity. The strength of gravity at the surface of the Earth is around 9.81, and decreases the further away from the surface you go. In this sense, assuming how far the car jumps off the ramp affects the flight path of the car, it will mean the car will be closer or further away from the Earth (albeit by a tiny amount), meaning the strength of gravity acting on it would be less, therefore it would weigh less whilst it was in the air. The change would be minuscule and not detectable.


Does the size of the wheels affect how far a toy car rolls?

Yes


Is ski jumping an Olympic event?

yes it is when you go off a ramp and try to get as far as you can from the ramp


How long should a good toy car ramp be?

A good toy car ramp should be at least 3-4 feet long to allow for a decent amount of speed and distance for the toy cars to race down. This length will provide a fun and engaging play experience for children.
