The question is, when you drop a marble into a cyclinder why does it always (when I say that I mean almost always) hit one side then sometime hits the other. Even if the marble is dropped as close to the centre as possible it tends to hit one side or the other. If released close to one side it will tend to travle to the oppisite side where it hits. This question was given to me by my physics teacher and we were told to get the answer any way we liked. If you can help it will be greatly appreciated.
