Question

Reena has rolled down her toy car through a ramp. When she increases the height of the ramp (10 cm ) the car has travelled 5 metres and she increases the height of the ramp (13 cm) the car has travelled 6 metres . What happened when she raises the height of the ramp?

Answer 1

As she raises the height of the ramp, the speed of the toy car decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of the distance traveled by an object to the time taken.

i.e speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

From the given question, it would be observed that:

i. when the height of the ramp was 10 cm, the car traveled 5 meters.

ii. when the height of the ramp was increased to 13 cm, the car traveled 6 meters.

Therefore, an increase in the height of the ramp causes a decrease in the speed of the toy car so that the distance traveled per unit time increases. Showing that there is an inverse relationship between the height of the ramp and the speed of the toy car.
