A solid sphere, a solid disk, and a thin hoop are all released from rest at the top of the incline (h0 = 20.0 cm). Required:
a. Without doing any calculations, decide which object would be spinning the fastest when it gets to the bottom. Explain.
b. Again, without doing any calculations, decide which object would get to the bottom first.
c. Assuming all objects are rolling without slipping, have a mass of 2.00 kg and a radius of 3.00 cm, find the rotational and translational speed at the bottom of the incline of any one of these three objects.

a. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

b. The object with the smallest rotational inertia, the thin hoop

c.  The rotational speed of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s

Explanation:

a. Without doing any calculations, decide which object would be spinning the fastest when it gets to the bottom. Explain.

Since the thin has the smallest rotational inertia. This is because, since kinetic energy of a rotating object K = 1/2Iω² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed.

ω = √2K/I

ω ∝ 1/√I

since their kinetic energy is the same, so, the thin hoop which has the smallest rotational inertia spins fastest at the bottom.

b. Again, without doing any calculations, decide which object would get to the bottom first.

Since the acceleration of a rolling object a = gsinФ/(1 + I/MR²), and all three objects have the same kinetic energy, the object with the smallest rotational inertia has the largest acceleration.

This is because a ∝ 1/(1 + I/MR²) and the object with the smallest rotational inertia  has the smallest ratio for I/MR² and conversely small 1 + I/MR² and thus largest acceleration.

So, the object with the smallest rotational inertia gets to the bottom first.

c. Assuming all objects are rolling without slipping, have a mass of 2.00 kg and a radius of 3.00 cm, find the rotational and translational speed at the bottom of the incline of any one of these three objects.

We know the kinetic energy of a rolling object K = 1/2Iω²  + 1/2mv² where I = rotational inertia and ω = angular speed, m = mass and v = velocity of center of mass = rω where r = radius of object

The kinetic energy K = potential energy lost = mgh where h = 20.0 cm = 0.20 m and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

So, mgh =  1/2Iω²  + 1/2mv² =  1/2Iω²  + 1/2mr²ω²

Let I = moment of inertia of sphere = 2mr²/5 where r = radius of sphere = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m and m = mass of sphere = 2.00 kg

So, mgh = 1/2Iω²  + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 1/2(2mr²/5 )ω²  + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = mr²ω²/5  + 1/2mr²ω²

mgh = 7mr²ω²/10

gh = 7r²ω²/10

ω² = 10gh/7r²

ω = √(10gh/7) ÷ r

substituting the values of the variables, we have

ω = √(10 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.20 m/7) ÷ 0.03 m

= 1.673 m/s ÷ 0.03 m

= 55.77 rad/s

≅ 55.8 rad/s

So, its rotational speed is 55.8 rad/s

Its translational speed v = rω

= 0.03 m × 55.8 rad/s

= 1.67 m/s

So, its rotational speed is of the sphere is 55.8 rad/s and Its translational speed is 1.67 m/s

the motion of a pendulum is a classic example of mechanical energy conservation. a pendulum consists of a mass (known as a bob ) attached by a string to a pivot point. as the pendulum moves it sweeps out a circular arc, moving back and forth in a periodic fashion.
