Vedclass · Answer

(B) The acceleration of a body rolling down an inclined plane is given by $a = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{1 + \frac{I}{MR^2}}$,where $I$ is the moment of inertia about the center of mass,$M$ is the mass,and $R$ is the radius.For a solid cylinder,$I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$,so $a = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{1 + 0.5} = \frac{2}{3} g \sin 	heta$.For a disc,$I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$,so $a = \frac{g \sin 	heta}{1 + 0.5} = \frac{2}{3} g \sin 	heta$.Since the acceleration depends only on the factor $\frac{I}{MR^2}$ (the shape factor),bodies with the same shape factor will have the same acceleration and reach the bottom at the same time.Both the solid cylinder and the disc have $I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$,meaning their shape factors are identical.Therefore,the solid cylinder and the disc will reach the bottom simultaneously.

$A$ solid sphere,a solid cylinder,a disc,and a ring are rolling down an inclined plane. Which of these bodies will reach the bottom simultaneously?

An object is rolling on an inclined plane. Its linear and rotational kinetic energies are equal. The object is:

$A$ solid sphere rolls down two different inclined planes of the same height,but of different inclinations. In both cases:

When a uniform solid sphere and a disc of the same mass and of the same radius roll down a rough inclined plane from rest to the same distance,then the ratio of the time taken by them is

$A$ cylinder of mass $M_c$ and a sphere of mass $M_s$ are placed at points $A$ and $B$ of two inclines,respectively (See Figure). If they roll on the incline without slipping such that their accelerations are the same,then the ratio $\frac{\sin \theta_c}{\sin \theta_s}$ is

$Assertion$ : The velocity of a body at the bottom of an inclined plane of given height is more when it slides down the plane,compared to when it rolls down the same plane.
$Reason$ : In rolling down,a body acquires both kinetic energy of translation and rotation.
