Miniature train The following multifasti photograph shows a miniature train that moves steadily quickly on a straight horizontal track. As the machine moves, a marble is thrown into the air by means of a spring installed in the chimney of the locomotive. The marble continues to move the same speed forward to the machine, and returns to it a second after the launch. Measure the angle that the trajectory of the marble forms with the horizontal one and use the in. mation to determine the maximum height of the marble and the speed of the locomotive.
