150Is it that it won't rise higher on the other side because in doing so, it will go to a state of higher P.E.?
Vivek @ Born this Way Not possible.
Is it ever possible that a body moving down an inclined plane acquires so much velocity that it moves higher when it is ascending the other plane? Like in the top picture, can it rise higher than from where it was rolled on the right side?

Akash Anand If the length of the inclined is not a constraint then every time ball will reach up to same height (friction and any other resistance must absent). And if you keep on decreasing the angle of an incline, the ball will move forever (law of inertia)Upvote·0· Reply ·2013-02-05 00:25:31
1133Depends upon the height of 2nd inclined plane. If they are equal in height then it is never possible for the ball to cross that height.
v = √2gh
Jeet Sen Sharma does the length actually matter.....? i thnk angle of inclination will matter..
Swarna Kamal Dhyawala for smooth surface angle of inclination would not matter
