Science question for a final study guide. A 1kg car will accelerate (faster, slower, the same) as a 2 kg car when rolling down a frictionless ramp.
I thought it was the same but am not sure.

Same question but adding on.What can be done to increase the acceleration of a car rolling down a ramp?

Another question...don't wanna lose points. My teacher teaches me nothing! Question: What causes plates (tectonic) to stop moving temporarily?

Yes it is the same. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant (about 9.1 metres per second squared). Remember when Galileo dropped two balls of differing mass off of the leaning tower of Pisa, they both hit the ground together, well just consider that to be a VERTICAL frictionless ramp. QED.

defiantly the same. mass does not play a role in acceleration.

Assuming not friction it should be the same.
Remember Galileo.

All i know is that apparently plates never stop moving all they do is move when faults are created.

same acceleration....
Galileo and Newton!!!!!
