Question

Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp.

Answer 1

Q1) Explain why increasing the mass of a car affects how the car rolls down a ramp

Ans1) Weight affects speed down the ramp but it's the mass that affects speed after a car leaves the ramp. Heavier cars have more momentum, so they travel further, given the same amount of friction

Answer 2

F = ma (force = mass x acceleration)

So the car’s mass affects the amount of force, changing how it would roll down a ramp, I think.
