(d) After rolling down the incline, the cylindrical object rolls across a horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 2a. The object then hits a vertical wall (Figure 2b) and bounces off the wall with the same speed it had before hitting the wall (Figure 2c). Note that during the bounce the object is in contact with the wall for a time interval that is very small, but not zero.
ii. During the time the object is in contact with the wall, is the magnitude of the acceleration greater than, less than, or the same as it was while it was rolling down the ramp?
