Wondering if anyone can help me with this problem.
A mass will fall about 5m in one second. if that mass slides down a ramp it won\'t go as far in a second because the acceleration is less. suppose we let masses go down a bunch of ramps at different angles, from the same starting point, and mark their positions at the end of one second of sliding. these end points lie on a simple curve. what kind of curve is this?
Thank you for any help!
