How does the weight of a toy car affect the car rolls down a ramp?

In school mechanics it does not. The force acting on the car is directly proportional to its mass (its weight adjusted for the incline of the ramp). The acceleration of the car is inversely proportional to this force. The overall result is that the mass of the car does not affect its motion.
In more advanced mechanics, where friction and drag are taken into account, things start getting more complicated.

Does changing the distance of a ramp affect the distance the car travel?
No.
Does the texture of a ramp matter when you roll a car down?
Yes, it affects the friction.
Which is the main force that causes a toy car to roll down a ramp?
The gravitational force is.
Vertical height of the ramp will be 10 feet The horizontal base of the ramp will be 15 feet What will be the length of the downward sloping side of the ramp?
18 feet
The vertical height of the ramp will be 10 feet the horizontal base of the ramp will be 15 feet what will be the length of the downward sloping side of the ramp?
The length of the downward sloping side of the ramp would be 18 feet approximately this is pythagarus theorem of the sum of squares. the answer should in fact be the number corresponding to the square root of (10*10+15*15).
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
Does a the mass of a ball affect how fast it rolls down a ramp?
no
When A ball rolls down a slope ramp the acceleration is?
increasing
What kind of toy car rolls the farthest down a ramp?
All of them are the same in a general prespetive unless you add or take away weight.
How does the weight of a car affect the distance a car travels down a ramp?
yes because Gravity is pulling it down and the heavier the mass the farther it will travel down the ramp. The heavier it is the more gravity has to pull down
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.
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.
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
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 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.
Rebecca is conducting an experiment to see if the height of a ramp affects the speed at which a marble rolls down the ramp What should be the only variable in Rebecca's experiment?
Dependant variable Height of the ramp
