A solid sphere rolls down two different inclined planes of the same heights but different angles of inclination. In each case, the ball will reach the bottom : |
With different speed With the same speed Immediately With different speed but same time |
With the same speed |
Acceleration of the rolling sphere : a = gsinθ/((1+k2/R2)) Velocity of the sphere at the bottom of the inclined plane : v=√(2gh/((1+k2/R2))) The sphere will reach the bottom with the same speed v because h is the same in both the cases. |
