Your work on the ball down ramp experiment has been received. We will look at your data later in the context of the entire group's data on this experiment.
I think the time required to roll the ramp with the steepest ramp would take less time to roll. The ramp is steeper so the ball will be moving faster.
I think the time intervals would be decreasing.

While doing this I think the ball rolled faster when I changed positions.

The results seem to show that the ball does increase when rolling down the highest slope. The numbers produced during the time intervals were lowest in the last experiment with the highest slope.
I think the ball rolled faster with a higher slope of the ramp. The ball would pick up speed more on a higher slope than a lower slope.
I am not too sure, but I would have to say that the higher the slope, the faster the pull on the ball to travel downward.
When we changed the slope on the ramps during these experiments I can see that the ball does indeed move faster when the slope on the ramp is higher.
