Statement I: The velocity of a body at the bottom of an inclined plane of given height, is more when it slides down the plane compared to, when it rolling down the same plane.
Statement II: In rolling down, a body acquires both, kinetic energy of translation and rotation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
In sliding down, the entire potential energy is converted only into linear energy. While in rolling down, some part of potential energy is converted int kinetic energy of rotation. Therefore, linear velocity acquired is less.
