When we rolled carts down a ramp, we measured the length of the ramp, the height of the lower part of the ramp, the height of the upper part of the ramp, and how long it took for the cart to reach the bottom of the ramp. Then we changed the height of the upper part of the ramp and measured how long it took for the cart to reach the bottom of the ramp.
