A solid spherical ball and a hollow spherical ball made out of the same material are released from rest at the top of a ramp. They roll down the ramp without slipping to the bottom. On what quantities does the speed of each ball at the bottom of the ramp depend?A. Radius of the ball. B. Distribution of mass within the ball. C. Mass of the ball. D. Height of the ramp.

D. Height of the ramp.

Explanation:

The solid spherical ball is expected to have more mass than that of the hollow spherical ball. And the speed of both balls would be influenced by the gravitational force as they roll down the ramp. Thus, the masses would move at different speed.

At the bottom of the ramp, the speed of the balls can be varied by varying the height of the ramp. So that the speed of both balls depend on the height of the ramp. As the height of the ramp increases, consequently, the speed of the balls increases. And if the height of the ramp decreases, the speed of the balls decreases consequently.
