A marble is released at the top of each of the ramps below. From which ramp will the marble
travel the FARTHEST across the floor?
Why would the steepest ramp make the marble travel the farthest across the floor?
It gives the marble more speed because gravity pulls it down a larger height.
It makes the marble lighter so it rolls easier.
It shortens the floor so the marble reaches the end faster.
It stops friction so the marble does not slow down.
