Question

If you were rolling a toy car down an incline, what would happen if you made the incline steeper? Explain why this happens using Newton’s Laws.

Answer 1

When you drop the object, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, or the energy of motion. ... So when you roll a ball down a ramp, it has the most potential energy when it is at the top, and this potential energy is converted to both translational and rotational kinetic energy as it rolls down.
