Ball will reach edge of bounding box under gravity vs. not so.

(edit; present; nest [left/right]; search; history)

	COMMENTS	`Strictly this Problem's solution is not actually about gravity, it is about a constant downwards force (the ball's time-independent path does not depend on the magnitude of the force, only direction). The phrasing for the solution is a shorthand that takes advantage of human physical intuition.`
