    Actually we all started assuming its a car. If the question refers to a ball running on a straight incline... then you probably could solve it? (constant acceleration, ignoring surface and air drag).

    • Sure, IF the speed is a constant, no problem.harlequino
    • speed doesn't have to be constant, just acceleration.ribit
    • of course we could also start the ball running at a constant speed, and that makes it even easier!ribit
    • oh wait no it's 0-50.. so we have to deal with acceleration.. dang.ribit
    • Yeah I suppose, since gravity, drag, all that jazz is the same. It's different above becasue it's (assumed) to be a car.harlequino
