Question: After rolling down the incline, the cylindrical object rolls across a horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 2a. The object then hits a vertical wall

After rolling down the incline, the cylindrical object rolls across a horizontal surface, as shown in Figure 2a. The object then hits a vertical wall (Figure 2b) and bounces off the wall with the same speed it had before hitting the wall (Figure 20). Note that during the bounce the object is in contact with the wall for a time interval that is very small, but not zero On the dot below, which represents the object during the time it is in contact with the wall. draw an arrow showing the direction of the object's acceleration during the bounce,
