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.
