How does a height of an inclined plane affect the speed of a car?

A high hill will usually slow a car more than a low hill will, if the angle of the incline is the same, and if you don't mess around with the accelerator pedal.

What can affect the speed of a runner?
height tailwinds or headwinds.
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
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.
If a plane can travel at 490 miles per hour with the wind and 430 miles per hour against the wind what is the speed of the plane in still air?
Wind speed is 30 while the plane speed it 460
Airplane a travels 1400km at a certain speed plane b travels 1000km at a speed 50kmh faster than plane a in 3hours less time find the speed of each plane?
A=200 b=250
Do the surface types on an inclined plane affect the speed of a hot wheel on an inclined plane?
I have no idea why.
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.
What kind of simple machine is a ruler?
A yardstick, a meterstick, a speed suare, a rafter angle square, measuring tape......etc.
What did Galileo discover about the amount of speed a ball gained each second when rolling down an inclined plane?
that it's speed increaded. Acceleration was at its upmost.
What can affect the speed of a runner?
height tailwinds or headwinds.
Which is A ball at rest is dropped from the top of an inclined plane at a height of 50 cm What is the speed of the ball when it reaches the bottom of the plane?
The speed of the ball can be determined using the law of conservation of energy. The initial potential energy of the ball is converted into kinetic energy as it rolls down the inclined plane. Assuming no energy losses, the speed of the ball at the bottom of the plane can be calculated using the equation v = √(2gh), where v is the speed, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height (50 cm = 0.5 m). Plugging in the values, the speed of the ball when it reaches the bottom of the plane is approximately 3.13 m/s.
When a ball rolls down an inclined plane it gains speed because of gravity?
That's a true statement. Good work!
Does the average speed depend on the steepness of the inclined plane?
Assuming you are asking about an object that is placed on an inclined plane and the only forces acting on it are gravity and friction; as the slope of the plane increases, more of gravitational force is applied down the plane and less of the frictional force is applied to the object up the plane. Unless there is no frictional force, until the plane reaches a certain critical slope the gravitational force will not overcome the frictional force and the object will not move, and the average speed for the object will be zero regardless of the slope of the plane (below this critical slope). As the slope increases there is an increase in the net force on the object down the plane which results in a higher acceleration down the plane, and with a higher acceleration it will reach a higher speed and so the average speed of the object down the plane will be higher. So, yes, it can be said that the average speed of an object down an inclined plane is dependant on the slope of the plane. If there are other forces involved, for example a motor, then the average speed will depend on these forces as well as the slope.
Does the height of a ramp affect a toy car's speed going down it?
Yes. The height of the ramp does affect the speed going down it the higher the ramp the faster the car goes down it
Can i measure a toy cars speed with a inclined plane?
To measure speed, you need a stationary starting poing and finish point, you need a timing device and the object being timed.
Does the height of a car affect a car's speed?
The cross sectional area of a car is dependent on its height. As the area changes the drag on the car, it is likely that increasing the height of a car will also reduce its top speed. There are many other factors that affect a car's maximum speed so a change in height may not always result in a change in top speed.
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
