Consider a small frictionless puck perched at the top of a fixed sphere of radius R. If the puck is given a tiny nudge so that it begins to slide down, through what vertical height will it descend before it leaves the surface of the sphere? (Draw a diagram. Show a coordinate system. Draw all forces acting on the puck). Apply Newton 2nd law. Don't use conservation of energy. apolar = (-ro²)ŕ + (rö + 2ŕø) Hint: to solve an equation * = a sin x, multiply it by x.
