I definitely got that part, I was thinking about just usually a linear ramp to get to the top in a certain amount of time. But I didn't think about the fact that the ball kind of has to rotate around at the top in order to be perfectly balanced so now I see why there is some nuance.

It's not a ball, it's an idealized "particle" (0-dimensional point).
