Yeah I know what you mean, but when i am calculating it, I am looking for the distance it will go before hitting the floor. So it then doesn't really matter what the surface is.

I have actually made it with a golf tee and there doesn't seem to be too much in terms of friction to move the marble

This isn't homework, I'm simply trying to figure out if the tension applied would be greater

the only force that slows down the marble is gravity, but I cannot figure out how to calculate the force required to make the marble go that distance

We have a car stuck in the mud. To pull it out we have tied a rope on it and began pulling in one direction horizontally. Another method was proposed that one end of the rope was tied to the car and the other was tied to the nearby tree and then the same amount of force was applied perpendicular...

I am trying to design an apparatus which will hit a marble a horizontal distance of from 1.5-1.6m every time. I have to calculate the force I need to hit the marble, but I can't seem to find an equation which works. If it helps any, the mass of the marble is 3.56g and I'm using a hammer which is...
