Two objects one solid sphere and one hoop ; of the same mass (M=0.5 kg ) and the same radius (R= 0.2 m) are released from the top of an hill at height H=1.0 meters
a) Can you predict which one of the two object will arrive to the bottom of incline first? Explain your answer.
b) Find the velocities of the two objects at the bottom of the incline to prove your answer in part a? Show complete solution.
Formulas you need for the problem:
Rotational inertia for a hoop I = MR2 , Rotational inertia for a solid sphere I = 2/5 MR2
V= R ω , U = M g H, E= U + K , Conservation of mechanical energy Ei = Ef
Rolling Kinetic energy is the sum of Kinetic energy for translation (k=1/2 M V2 ) and Kinetic energy for rotation (K=1/2 I ω2 )
