Consider the following three objects, each of the same mass and radius: (1) a solid sphere I = 0.4MR^2 (2) a solid disk I = 0.5MR^2 (3) a hoop I = MR^2 All three are released from rest at the top of an inclined plane. The three objects proceed down the incline undergoing rolling motion without slipping. In which order do the objects reach the bottom of the incline? 1, 2, 3 3, 2, 1 All three reach the bottom at the same time. 2, 3, 1 3, 1, 2

Step 1

4MR^2), so it will reach the bottom first. - The solid disk has a moment of inertia of 0.5MR^2, which is higher than the solid sphere, so it will reach the bottom second. - The hoop has the highest moment of inertia (MR^2), so it will take the longest time to reach Show more…
