The acceleration of an object on an inclined plane is directly influenced by the angle of the slope. As the angle of the slope increases, the component of the gravitational force acting parallel to the surface of the incline also increases, leading to a greater acceleration of the object sliding down the slope.

The acceleration of a ball rolling down a slope ramp is due to gravity pulling it downwards. The acceleration is equal to the gravitational acceleration (9.81 m/s^2) multiplied by the sine of the angle of the slope.
The acceleration vs time graph shows how the rate of change of velocity (acceleration) varies over time. It reveals that the slope of the velocity vs time graph represents the acceleration at any given point. A steeper slope indicates a higher acceleration, while a flatter slope indicates a lower acceleration.
The relationship between acceleration, velocity, and time can be expressed graphically by plotting acceleration on the y-axis, velocity on the x-axis, and time changing over the course of the graph. This can show how changes in acceleration affect velocity over time. The slope of the velocity-time graph represents acceleration.
The acceleration due to gravity of a falling object is constant and independent of the slope. The slope of the surface affects the component of gravity parallel to it, but the acceleration due to gravity remains the same, causing the object to accelerate downward at a constant rate regardless of the slope.
Acceleration is not directly proportional to the angle of inclination. Acceleration depends on the force acting on an object, with the angle of inclination affecting the components of the force acting along different axes. Therefore, acceleration can vary with the angle of inclination but is not directly proportional.
