Two equal mass marbles are at the top of a ramp. One marble falls to the ground off the back while the other rolls down the ramp. What is true about the marbles when they reach the ground?

• The marble that rolled down the ramp is moving faster than the marble that fell.

• The marble that fell down the back of the ramp is moving faster than the marble that rolled.

• The marble that rolled down the ramp is not moving when it reaches the ground.

• The two marbles are moving with the same speed.

A block starts at rest at point P at the top of a ramp which is height h above the ground. The block slides down one side and up the other, stopping at a point less than h above the ground.

• The block did not go as high on the other side because gravity pulls down.

• The block did not go as high on the other side because potential energy always has to decrease.

• The block did not go as high on the other side because work from friction made the mechanical energy less.

• The situation as described is impossible to happen.
