As the right-side plane’s slope is gradually decreased, the marble travels further distances to reach the same height from which it was released.

As the right-side plane’s slope is gradually decreased, the marble travels a longer horizontal distance before coming to rest. This occurs because the reduced slope decreases the vertical component of gravitational force, thereby reducing the marble’s potential energy conversion into kinetic energy.
