Does the height of the ramp impact the speed the ball will travel? What is a proper hypothesis for this question?
The ball will roll faster with a higher ramp.
If the ramp is higher, then the ball will roll faster.
I think the ball will roll faster.
If ramp height affects the speed, then the ball will roll faster.
