Loop-the-Loop

A ball is allowed to roll down the ramp and loop around the track. The motion is then analyzed based on the fact that the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy remains constant. Friction is ignored, although it is not completely negligible for a thorough analysis.
Equipment:
- Loop-the-loop track
- Balls
