Question Image
Roll the marble from different heights. Observe the effect on its movements.
Change the level of the slant of the book. Hold one end of the book with your hand and the other should touch the floor. Now, roll the marble from the end which is high to the plain floor. Mark with chalk, the place where the marble reaches. Conduct the same experiment by Changing the slope of the book each time.
Is there a relation between the slope of the book and the distance covered by the marble?
