The vertical distance that it falls determines the speed, in the frictional case. The component of the weight in the direction along the slope determines the acceleration.
The acceleration is g sin theta along the plane.
Friction makes things more complicated. You need a certain minimum tilt angle to overcome friction and move at all.
how do you determine the relationship between the angle of a ramp and speed of an object sliding down the ramp?
