A ramp for a marble or small steel ball can be made by bending a long strip

Question:

A ramp for a marble or small steel ball can be made by bending a long strip of cardboard into a V-shaped groove. Two such ramps can be placed end to end, as pictured in the diagram, to produce a track in which the marble will oscillate.a. Can you measure a frequency of oscillation for this system? Does this frequency depend upon how high up the ramp the marble starts?b. How high up the second ramp does the marble go? Is more energy lost per cycle in this system than for a pendulum??
