Physics System of Particles Rotational Motion Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

A ring (R), a disc

A
All of them will reach the bottom of the incline together.
B
The body with the maximum radius will reach the bottom first.
C
They will reach the bottom in the order S, D, H, R.
D
, a solid sphere (S) and a hollow sphere with thin walls (H), all having the same mass but different radii, start together from rest at the top of an inclined plane and roll down without slipping. All of them will have the same kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline.

CHECK THE SOLUTION.

(c, d)

In rolling without slipping, no work is done against friction. Hence, loss in gravitational potential energy of a body is equal to its total kinetic energy, i.e., linear plus rotational kinetic energies. Also, v = ω ω r.

Total kinetic energy = mv 2 + I ω ω 2 = [mv 2 + (mk 2 ) (v 2 )]

= mv 2 (1 + k 2 /r 2 ), where k = radius of gyration.

As all the bodies have the same final total kinetic energy, their final velocities will depend only on the ratio k/r. Bodies with smaller values of k/r will have greater v and hence reach the bottom earlier.
