Is there a way to make a gravity effected ball in the assembly or part studio.

I am trying to make an infinite marble track. My goal is to have a ball roll down a spiral then roll back up.

I would be warry of a Tangent sphere to the track. 
Instead I would try adding a track guide that the marble follows with a mate connector or some reference point

If you want the marble to appear to rotate, that will be an artistic challenge. For that add your marble to a sub assembly and have a spearate relation making the marble spin in it's assembly, while a mate connector in the assembly is mated to your track

That make sense? 

Sorry i can't throw an example your way i'm not by a computer for the next few days

you can make it tangent (tangent mate -although Ive never tried to mate a sphere..?) to your track, and then drag it along.  No "gravity", or interference although they would be nice. 
 Don't think animations are a focus for the OnShape team right now. 
 Find the animated Rubix Cube thread to see a master at work ...
