It will go faster, just like a boy scout pine wood derby car.

When you add more mass to a toy car will it go faster slower or the same down a ramp?
Faster. You see, adding more mass to the object pulls it down faster than when it had a lesser amount. Now that you've added more mass to your car, the gravitational pull will allow it to zoom on down the ramp. Forget about driving that thing UP the ramp! (:
When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?
if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster
Does mass affect speed when you put pennies on a toy car and let go down a ramp?
Yes, As a Boy scout we would weight our cars so that they would travel faster.
One car is 2x the mass of the other Suppose the slower car crashes a horizontal distance of 10 m from the ledge Then at what horizontal distance does the faster car hit?
Does... not... compute... Too many missing variables, or just a poorly written question.
What is Mass times distance divided by time?
Momentum. Distance divided by time is speed. Mass times speed is momentum.
Would a toy car with mass go faster or slower down a ramp?
same speed horizontally, acceleration is downwards
When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
In a collision between faster and slower moving particles, typically the slower moving particles will gain energy and speed up while the faster moving particles will lose energy and slow down. This is due to the principle of conservation of energy and momentum.
Do electrons move faster than the speed of light?
No. Because of their mass, they travel slower than c.
Is it true that lions can run faster than the speed of light?
Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light, and nothing with mass can travel faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. The faster an object travels, the heavier it gets. An object traveling near the speed of light would weigh countless tons and be too heavy to move. Neutrinos (sub atomic particles) which might travel faster than light have no mass and are not effected by the increase in weight with the increase in speed. Lions can only run about 20 mph, much slower than the speed of light. Cheetahs can only run about 25 mph. again, much slower than light speed.

Why does heavier marble roll slower than a lighter marble down a slope?
Heavier marbles have more mass, so they have more inertia and resist acceleration more than lighter marbles. This results in slower acceleration and slower rolling speed down a slope compared to lighter marbles.
Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?
they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!
How does mass affect a cars speed down a ramp?
The mass of a car affects its speed down a ramp by influencing its inertia and gravitational force. A heavier car will accelerate slower than a lighter car due to its greater resistance to change in motion caused by its mass. However, once in motion, both cars will experience the same acceleration due to gravity down the ramp.
Can a slower car have more momentum than a faster car?
Yes, momentum depends on both mass and velocity. So, a slower car with a much larger mass could potentially have more momentum than a faster car with less mass.
What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?
When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.
How does the mass of a toy car affect its speed going down a ramp?
The mass of a toy car affects its speed going down a ramp by influencing its acceleration. A heavier toy car will typically accelerate slower than a lighter one due to increased inertia. However, once in motion, the mass of the car does not significantly affect its speed on the ramp, assuming air resistance and friction are minimal.
If we made a material that had less mass than light would it be able to at least reach light speed?
Photons (light particles) have zero mass, so it is doubtful whether you can make something with LESS mass than that.Anything with a mass of zero can ONLY move at the speed of light.Anything with a positive mass can only move SLOWER than the speed of light.There are good reasons to believe that nothing can move FASTER than the speed of light.
