(C) A hollow sphere (mass = m, radius = r) rolls down a 45-degree incline. Let φ be the angle of rotation of the sphere, and ψ = the angular velocity (θ)/(t) = αr (φ)/(t)αr (δ).
(i) Write the total kinetic energy of the sphere in terms of ψ.
(ii) Write the gravitational potential energy in terms of φ.
(iii) The total energy has the form (1)/(2)μψ^(2)-Γφ, so use part A to determine the angular acceleration.
(expression for K = (5)/(6)m*r^(2)*ψ^(2)
You are correct.
