Your work on the ball down ramp experiment has been received. Scroll down through the document to see any comments I might have inserted, and my final comment at the end.
The time required to roll the length of the ramp will be least for the steepest ramp.
I would expect the time intervals to be decreasing because the least amont of time would be required for the greatest slope.

My results support the hypothesis I stated in the first two questions. The greater the slope, the less time required to cover the distance.
The average velocity increases when the slope of the ramp increases. The steepness of the ramp directly effects the rate at which the ball will roll.
When the slope rises the average velocity is forced to rise with it because of gravity and the downward motion that must occur when the ball is placed on the ramp.
By doing what we've done here, hypthesis and experimentation. Please let me know if you have any questions related to this orientation assignment.
