That makes sense, since the marble is rolling, not sliding down the ramp. thank you so much!

I know that that formula shows what should happen, but the results of the experiment show something 30% different, and I was wondering why they are so different, i(e sound energy present?) I appreciate your help :) Thanks

Homework Statement We did an experiment where A marble travels down a ramp, rolls along for 5 cm, then falls off a desk. The marble starts off while gravitational potencial energy, and ends with kinetic energy. We were given a formula for the distance from the desk the marble lands, 'x'...

Okay, Thanks! Jen

Hi, I have a question about escape velocities, is this a good place to post it? (I'm new, so sorry if I'm asking a stupid question, or if this is the wrong place to post it) Thanks
