A Ball Rolling Down A Ramp

The effects on a ball rolling down a ramp aim.
A ball rolling down a ramp. I am trying to find out what factors effect the distance a ball rolls when released from the top of a ramp. 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. 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.

Therefore only the component of the gravitational force which points along the direction of the ball s motion can accelerate the ball. What will be its acceleration. The relationship between distance traveled and time was not linear. I like this because it brings in many different concepts in.
The force of gravity points straight down but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn t go straight down it follows the ramp. The other component pushes the ball into the ramp and the ramp pushes back so there is.
