Objects with more mass require more force to move or stop than lighter objects.

Front

Back

A ramp is a sloped surface that helps objects move from a lower to a higher position or vice versa.

Front

How does height of a ramp affect motion?

Back

The higher the ramp, the faster an object will roll down due to gravity.
