A solid spherical ball and a hollow spherical ball made out of the same material are released from rest at the top of a ramp. They roll down the ramp without slipping to the bottom. show answer Incorrect Answer 50% Part (a) On what quantities does the speed of each ball at the bottom of the ramp depend? Select all that apply.

1 ) Distribution of mass within the ball

2 ) Height of the ramp

Explanation:

Acceleration of a rolling body down an inclined plane is given by the following formula

a = g sinθ / ( 1 + k² / R² )

k is radius of gyration , R is radius of the spherical object ,

when acceleration is more , velocity will also be more .

for objects in which masses are lying in the periphery like in hollow sphere , the value of k²/R² will be high so denominator of the expression will be high so acceleration will be less , hence velocity on reaching the bottom will be less.

On mass of the ball , velocity will not depend .

If height is increased , ball will have acceleration for greater time so velocity will be high.

On radius it will not depend because , radius r and k increases proportionately.
