Question:medium
A solid sphere of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of height 3 m. What is its speed at the bottom? (Take \( g = 9.8\, \text{m/s}^2 \))
A solid sphere of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m rolls without slipping down an inclined plane of height 3 m. What is its speed at the bottom? (Take \( g = 9.8\, \text{m/s}^2 \))
Show Hint
For rolling without slipping, total KE is $\frac{7}{10}mv^2$. Use $v = \sqrt{\frac{10gh}{7}}$ for a solid sphere.
