Does the height of the ramp affect the distance a ball will roll?

The larger the angle of the ramp the farther the ball will roll once it's reached the floor at the bottom of the ramp, until you make the ramp so steep that the ball rolls for shorter and shorter distances each time. Imagine that when the ramp is really steep the ball's direction is mainly into the floor and not along the floor anymore, so it's probably going to bounce a bit depending on what it's made of and not roll very much at all.

Name 2 factors the affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
One factor is the height of the ramp. The higher the height of the ramp the further the car travels. Another factor is the surface of the ramp. With a rough surface on the ramp e.g sand paper the car travels a short distance. With a lubricated surface on the ramp e.g Vaseline the car will travel a very long distance.
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
Does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a marble?
Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
Does the starting position of a ball on a ramp affect the distance it travels?
Yes, it does. The further up a ball is placed on a ramp, the greater the distance the ball travels. If launched from a lower starting position, then the ball shall travel a shorter distance. This is all true under Newton's second law, which states that Force = mass * acelaration(F= m*a). If the ball has to move something, i.e. a cup, then the rule applies as well.
Does a the mass of a ball affect how fast it rolls down a ramp?
no
How does the increasing the height of a ramp affect how far a ball rolls down ramp?

Yes.The higher the ramp the faster.
Does changing the distance of a ramp affect the distance the car travel?
No.
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.

Does ramp height effect a model cars distance?
yes
How does the height of a ramp affect the speed of a rolling object?
At the bottom of the ramp, the higher the ramp the faster the speed, ignoring frictionl forces The speed varies as the square root of the height
Does the height of the ramp affect the speed of the car?
Yes,if you are going at 100 mph and you go down a steep hill your speed on speedometer does not go higher but your car actually gains speed no it does not, the height of the ramp affects the distance ,not the speed.Laws of physics apply here.
Did the height of the ramp increase the distance the car rolled?
if the ramp forms a very steep gradient, definately the car will roll for a longer distance. On the contrary, if the gradient formed by the ramp is gentle, then it will roll for a shorter distance
Does a the mass of a ball affect how fast it rolls down a ramp?
no
