A ball is thrown straight up at 25 m/s. Someone asks, “Ignoring air resistance, what is the probability of the ball tunneling to a height of 1000 m?” Explain why this is not an example of tunneling as discussed in this chapter, even if the ball were replaced with a. small fun­damental particle. (The fact that the potential energy varies with position is not the whole answer—passing through nonrectangular barriers is still tunneling.)
