Rolling Motion
A solid sphere, a hollow sphere and a ring are released from top of an inclined plane (frictionless) so that they slide down the plane. Then maximum acceleration down the plane is for (no rolling)
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- On a frictionless incline there is no torque about the centre, so the bodies only slide and do not rotate.
- For pure sliding, , independent of shape and mass.
- So the answer is (d) all same.
