The student placed a golf ball at the top of the ramp and observed that the ball rolled down the track, began to go up the loop, then fell off the track.
In order to solve this problem of the golf ball not reaching the end of the track, the student came up with two solutions.
Solution 1: Increase the length of the track between the ramp and the loop, keeping the height the same.
Solution 2: Increase the height of the ramp, keeping the length of the track the same as the original setup.
Which solution (solution 1 or solution 2) best solves the problem and allows the golf ball to travel around the loop to the end of the track?
Solution 1
Solution 2
Explain why you feel your solution choice is the best one.
