Best Answer

The recommended slope for straight ramps in situations such as:

  • Half deck car parks where the vertical separation between decks is less than 1.5m, is 1:6. This relatively steep slope is only possible when using transition gradients top and bottom.
  • Where vertical differences are greater than 1.5m, is not less than 1:10.
  • Where ramps are curved, 1:10 or 1:12 depending on the separation.

What Two factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop?

Air resistance against the car as it travels and the friction of the wheels against the ground slows it down and so reduces the toy car's potential travelling distance The weight of the car\on the car, the slope of the ramp and the material the car lands on or on the ramp

The answer depends on what causes the difficulty: the steepness or the distance which you have to run.


Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?

- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).
