You drop a ball on this vertical parabola with point A as starting point and point B as ending point. What is the expected natural movement of the ball that is set into motion with no external force assuming no friction? Would it go all the way from point A to point B or halfway to point B and come to rest at the middle of the curve?
I am also trying to find some evidence or literature from some text to confirm of such expected motion.. however most of the examples I see are more related to an object falling in a downward parabola or other examples on a downward projectile.
Many thanks
