London is conducting an experiment to see how far a marble will roll when she releases it at the top of an inclined plane. Why does the marble speed up as it travels down the inclined plane?

• The marble has a greater mass as it travels faster.

• The marble has less magnetic attraction to the inclined plane as it travels.

• The force of gravity pulls the marble down the inclined plane.

• The force of friction is reduced because the marbles surface is smooth.
