Can you guys explain it in a more simplified manner ,
I don't think you are getting my point , @timo an fair experiment is conducted with gradient as independent variable. And of course , the force supplied to start the ball rolling is constant for both scenarios.
I was wondering if its correct to say that the steeper the gradient , the greater the effects of "free fall".
Another possibility is that the reaction force during point of contact of slope and ball is smaller for the steeper slope , hence it experiences a greater force due to gravity.
