Colliding marbles The figure shows an experiment with two marbles. Marble $A$ was launched toward marble $B$ with launch angle $\alpha$ and initial speed $v_{0} .$ At the same instant, marble $B$ was released to fall from rest at $R$ tan $\alpha$ units directly above a spot $R$ units downrange from $A .$ The marbles were found to collide regardless of the value of $v_{0} .$ Was this mere coincidence, or must this happen? Give reasons for your answer. Graph cannot copy
