Question

A ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal is placed on a table, as shown at right. A solid ball is released from rest at the top of the ramp and then is projected off the table horizontally. A flexible curved section is attached to the ramp to transition the ball from the ramp to the table. The ball falls into a cup that is at a distance R from the edge of the table.

(a) If the experiment is repeated with the angle is increased, where should the cup be placed in order to catch the ball?

___ closer to the table ___ further from the table ___in the same place

Justify your answer

(b) If the ball is replaced with a hollow sphere of the same mass, where should the cup be placed in order to catch the ball?

__ closer to the table ___ further from the table ___in the same place

1. A ramp that makes an angle 8 with the horizontal is placed on a table, as shown at right. A solid ball is
released from rest at the top of the ramp and then is projected off the table horizontally. A flexible
curved section is attached to the ramp to transition the ball from the ramp to the table. The ball falls into
a cup that is at a distance R from the edge of the table.
