Smooth rolling ball rolls down hill, how far can it fly?

[QUOTE="PeroK, post: 6244454, member: 493650"] Given that gravity acts equally on all masses, the mass in a gravitational problem such as this is never relevant. Not quite so obvious is that for rolling without slipping, only the geometry of an object is relevant. All solid spheres roll downhill under gravity at the same rate; all hollow spheres at the same rate; all solid cylinders at the same rate etc. As [USER=635497]@hutchphd[/USER] suggests, if you do the algebra you'll see this for yourself - in this case for solid spheres.
