8. Observing that the ball rolls down the inclined plane, determine what the acceleration of the ball is as it rolls (assuming no friction) down the ramp. Note, you may be tempted to answer, "the acceleration of the ball is caused by the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s?, however notice the ball does not fall vertically downward. Using the inclined plane as a right triangle, use trig to determine what the acceleration of the ball is. You will need to know the angle of inclination of the plane, which you can find using the images above. 9. Assuming you let the ball go with zero velocity, calculate the velocity of the ball at the bottom of the ramp. Again, assume no friction. 10. Given that the velocity of the ball does not change much between the edge of the ramp and the end of the table, calculate the expected distance traveled from the edge of the table, Ax mentioned in #9. If you did not get v, from #9, then you can simply write an estimate down for v, but be sure to note that it is an educated guess, note a calculated velocity.
