Potential Energy of the ball on the shallow ramp and the ball on the steep ramps are different: PE = mass x gravity x height. This potential energy is converted to Kinetic energy or motion energy. KE = 1/2mv^2. If there is more potential energy to convert to Kinetic energy then it will result in increased speed.
down
The general term for material that falls down and gathers at the foot of a steep cliff or mountain face is scree.
The type of water erosion that forms larger channels down a steep slope is called gully erosion. Gully and rill erosion are the dominant types of water erosion in the world.
If two round objects roll down a hill, the one with the greater mass will roll faster. If they are dropped they will fall at the same rate.
The small ball
it flows faster on a steep slope
Material will travel faster in a river flowing down a steep slope. As the water slows down, the material will also slow down.
A ball thrown down. The thrown ball will have a greater initial velocity and since they experience the same force of gravity, it will always be faster (until they both reach terminal velocity).
its not exactly the skate board. Its how you use your momentum. Even if you do not use momentum gravity will pull u faster down a steep ramp.
Adding oil to a ball will likely make it roll down a hill faster because the reduced friction between the ball and the surface will make it easier for the ball to move.
Yes, steep slopes can cause objects to accelerate faster due to the force of gravity acting more vertically on the object. This increased acceleration can cause the object to move downward more quickly compared to a less steep slope.
Yes, the surface of a hill can affect how fast a ball will roll down it. A smoother surface will have less friction, allowing the ball to roll faster, while a rougher surface will create more friction and slow the ball down. Additionally, the incline of the hill will also impact the speed of the ball as steeper hills will cause the ball to accelerate more quickly.
Tsunamis typically travel faster over deep water due to the reduced friction and resistance compared to shallow water. Once they reach shallow water near coastlines, they slow down and can increase in height as the energy is compressed.
Soils don't form on steep slopes because the rate of erosion outweighs the rate of soil formation. The steep gradient causes water to wash away any accumulating soil particles before they have a chance to develop into mature soil. This process results in shallow or no soil development on steep slopes.
In other words, does a golf ball roll faster up a hill? No obviously not. It would roll faster down a slope, it's called gravity.
"Friction slowed the ball down" is an observation because it describes a direct, visible effect on the ball's motion. The other statements are hypotheses or explanations for why the ball's speed changed.
A ball typically rolls faster on gravel than on grass due to the smoother surface and reduced friction on gravel. Grass can create more resistance and slow down the ball's movement.
