My friend and I were trying to deduce (in the Aristotelian method, since we didn't experiment) whether a heavy sphere (bowling ball) and a lighter sphere rolled down a half-pipe would have the same amplitude (rise as high on the other side) or the same period (roll back and forth at the same rate).
Assuming no resistance from friction or air, which would it be?
