Question

Physics with Calc - Please use the appropriate units and round to the .000 if needed.

A uniform solid disk, a uniform solid sphere, and a uniform hoop are placed side by side at the top of an incline of height h. They are released from rest and roll without slipping. Place the objects in order of fastest to slowest at the bottom the incline. (Be sure to be able to explain why, in words, without equations.)

the two spheres tie for first, followed by hoop

uniform hoop, solid disk, solid sphere    

it's a 3-way tie

the hoop, followed by the two spheres in a tie

solid sphere, uniform hoop, solid disk

solid sphere, solid disk, uniform hoop

Verify your answer by deriving a formula for their speeds when they reach the bottom in terms of h. (Use h and g as appropriate in your equations. For example: sqrt(7gh) means take the square root of 7*g*h)

Now it's a race to the bottom among a golf ball, a bowling ball, and a marble (assume they are all uniform solid spheres, but of different masses, sizes, and densities). Place them in order from fastest to slowest at the bottom of the incline.

Explanation / Answer

A uniform solid disk, a uniform solid sphere, and a uniform hoop are placed side by side at the top of an incline of height h. They are released from rest and roll without slipping. Place the objects in order of fastest to slowest at the bottom the incline. (Be sure to be able to explain why, in words, without equations.)

(1)solid sphere, solid disk, uniform hoop (answer)


Verify your answer by deriving a formula for their speeds when they reach the bottom in terms of h. (Use h and g as appropriate in your equations. For example: sqrt(7gh) means take the square root of 7*g*h)
solid disk speed = sqrt((gh)/0.75)
uniform hoop speed =sqrt(gh)
solid sphere speed =sqrt((gh)/0.7)

Now it's a race to the bottom among a golf ball, a bowling ball, and a marble (assume they are all uniform solid spheres, but of different masses, sizes, and densities). Place them in order from fastest to slowest at the bottom of the incline.
