If we consider a frictionless incline then the two balls will roll down with equal acceleration i.e a=gsin(theta). But if there is friction then the larger ball (considering both balls have equal mass density) will experience more friction and hence will come down slower.

Do large balls roll further than small balls?
There are cases where a larger ball can travel faster than a smaller ball. However, consider the case where both balls are under the same conditions (same mass, and placed at the same height on the same inclined plane, and assume negligible air resistance), then the smaller ball will travel faster than the larger ball.
Which ball rolls down a hill faster?
You should find that a solid object will always roll down the ramp faster than a hollow object of the same shape (sphere or cylinder)—regardless of their exact mass or diameter. This might come as a surprising or counterintuitive result!
Which ball will roll farther?
Objects on the Ground
Similar to balls in flight, surface friction impedes the movement of balls with low mass-density, such as soccer balls, more than it does those with high mass-density, such as bowling balls. In other words, given equal size in terms of diameter, the ball with the greater mass will roll farther.
Do heavier things roll downhill faster?
Through this study, we found that the heavier water bottle indeed rolled down the ramp faster than the lighter water bottle did. From this, we could infer that heavier rolling objects roll down an inclined plane faster than lighter rolling objects.
Why does a ball roll faster down a steep slope?
The change in speed on slopes is due to gravity. If the hill is steep, then the ball will roll down the hill faster, while if you put the ball on a flatter section of land, the ball will roll at a slower rate.
Will a heavier object fall faster?
No, heavier objects fall as fast (or slow) as lighter objects, if we ignore the air friction. The air friction can make a difference, but in a rather complicated way. The gravitational acceleration for all objects is the same.
Why is a ball rolling down a hill considered unbalanced?
-An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon them. (Ex~A ball will roll down a hill, but will eventually stop because of friction.) ... -Force depends on mass and acceleration.
Is a ball rolling down a hill kinetic energy?
When the ball starts moving and rolls down the hill, then its stored potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. It is this kinetic energy that is responsible for the motion of the objects.
Which rolls are faster?
Round objects roll faster because round objects can actually roll. By rolling the object is pushing less against the surface, which would create friction and slow it down.
Which ball gets to the bottom first?
Ball A gets to the bottom first due to a greater acceleration down a shorter ramp. (Note that SPEED at the bottom, not TIME, is the same for both.)
Does weight matter when rolling down a hill?
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.
Does size affect speed?
Our results show that the size of an object affects the perception of its speed. In particular, smaller objects appeared to move faster in translational motion.
Does a ball rolling down a ramp have acceleration?
The force of gravity points straight down, but a ball rolling down a ramp doesn't go straight down, it follows the ramp. ... The other component pushes the ball into the ramp, and the ramp pushes back, so there is no acceleration of the ball into the ramp.
Does the weight of a ball affect how far it goes?
This makes sense in our everyday experience: Using the same arm, you can throw a baseball quite a bit farther than you can a bowling ball, for example. However, the ball's weight affects more than the distance it will fly. A lighter ball traveling at the same velocity as a heavier ball will land with less force.
