A sphere is released from rest on a no-slip surface, as shown in the figure (the left side). After reaching its lowest point, the ball begins to rise again, this time on a frictionless surface as shown on the right side figure. When the ball reached its maximum height on the frictionless surface, it is

at the same height as when it was released on the left side. It is impossible to tell without knowing the radius and mass of the ball. at a greater height than when it was released on the left side. at a lesser height than when it was released on the left side.
