What will be its acceleration.
A ball rolling down 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.
As the ball rolled down the plane galileo found that it traveled down the ramp at a uniformly increasing speed.
Therefore only the component of the gravitational force which points along the direction of the ball s motion can accelerate the ball.
I am trying to find out what factors effect the distance a ball rolls when released from the top of a ramp.
Suppose you have a cylinder on an ramp and you let it start rolling down.
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.
The force of gravity points straight down but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn t go straight down it follows the ramp.
The relationship between distance traveled and time was not linear.
