A uniform, solid sphere of radius 2.50 cm and mass 4.75 kg starts with a purely translational speed of 3.00 m/s at the top of an inclined plane. The surface of the incline is 2.75 m long, and is tilted at an angle of 22.0∘ with respect to the horizontal. Assuming the sphere rolls without slipping down the incline, calculate the sphere's final translational speed v2 at the bottom of the ramp.

The final translational seed at the bottom of the ramp is approximately 4.84 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The radius of the sphere, R = 2.50 cm

The mass of the sphere, m = 4.75 kg

The translational speed at the top of the inclined plane, v = 3.00 m/s

The length of the inclined plane, l = 2.75 m

The angle at which the plane is tilted, θ = 22.0°

We have;

+ = +

K = (1/2)×m×v²×(1 + I/(m·r²))

I = (2/5)·m·r²

K =  (1/2)×m×v²×(1 + 2/5) = 7/10 × m×v²

U = m·g·h

h = l×sin(θ)

h = 2.75×sin(22.0°)

∴ 7/10×4.75×3.00² + 4.75×9.81×2.75×sin(22.0°) = 7/10 × 4.75ײ + 0

7/10×4.75×3.00² + 4.75×9.81×2.75×sin(22.0°) ≈ 77.93

∴ 77.93 ≈ 7/10 × 4.75ײ

² = 77.93/(7/10 × 4.75)

≈ √(77.93/(7/10 × 4.75)) ≈ 4.84

The final translational seed at the bottom of the ramp, ≈ 4.84 m/s.
