Do heavier objects slide down faster?


Do heavier objects slide down faster? Believe it or not, when objects roll downhill, it's not their weight or size that determines their speed—it's how their weight is distributed.


What makes a slide go faster?

Different things affect how fast you move down a slide. The surface of the slide, the clothes you are wearing, how heavy you are, and the amount of your body touching the slide all make a difference. Whether the slide is flat, wavy, or spiral makes a difference too.
