Suppose that the height of the incline is h = 14.7 m. find the speed at the bottom for each of the following objects. 1.solid sphere 2.spherical shell 3.hoop 4.cylinder m/s

1. 14.4 m/s  2. 13.2 m/s 3. 12.0 m/s 4. 13.9 m/s

Explanation:  

Assuming no friction present, the different objects roll without slipping, so there is a constant relationship between linear and angular velocity, as follows:

ω= v/r

If no friction exists, the change in total kinetic energy must be equal in magnitude to the change in the gravitational potential energy:

∆K = -∆U

 ½ *m*v² + ½* I* ω²  = m*g*h

Simplifying and replacing the value of the angular velocity:

½ * v² + ½ I *(v/r)² = g*h (1)

In order to answer the question, we just need to replace h by the value given, and I (moment of inertia) for the value for each different object, as follows:

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (2/5 *m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

                Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = √(10/7*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 14. 4 m/s

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (2/3 *m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

                Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = √(6/5*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 13.2 m/s

                Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (m*r²) *(v/r)² = g*h

               Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

               v = √(9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 12.0 m/s

                 Replacing in (1):

                ½ * v² + ½ (1/2 *m*r²) *(v/r)²= g*h

                 Replacing by the value given for h, and solving for v:

                v = 2*√(1/3*9.8 m/s2*14.7 m)  = 13.9 m/s

prolly a beacuse the momentuem the car has increases while going down hill
