I am trying to find out what factors effect the distance a ball rolls when released from the top of a ramp.
A ball rolling down a ramp.
The force of gravity points straight down but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn t go straight down it follows the ramp.
Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down.
I like this because it brings in many different concepts in.
As the ball rolled down the plane galileo found that it traveled down the ramp at a uniformly increasing speed.
The effects on a ball rolling down a ramp aim.
In fact upon analyzing his results galileo found that the distance traveled by the ball down the ramp was proportional to the square of the time elapsed.

What will be its acceleration.
The other component pushes the ball into the ramp and the ramp pushes back so there is.
Variables input control outcome units height of ball from the ground height of ramp distance ball rolls centimeters cm length of ramp speed ball rolls surface of ramp direction ball rolls.
