The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of a homogeneous solid sphere after rolling down an inclined plane of vertical height \( h \) from rest without slipping, we can use the principles of conservation of energy. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial and Final States**: - Initial state: The sphere is at rest at a height \( h \). - Final state: The sphere has rolled down the incline and is moving with speed \( v \). 2. **Apply Conservation of Energy**: - The potential energy (PE) at the top will convert into kinetic energy (KE) at the bottom. - The potential energy at height \( h \) is given by: \[ PE = mgh \] - The kinetic energy when the sphere is rolling consists of two parts: translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy. - The translational kinetic energy (TKE) is: \[ TKE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \] - The rotational kinetic energy (RKE) for a solid sphere is: \[ RKE = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \] - For a solid sphere, the moment of inertia \( I \) is given by: \[ I = \frac{2}{5} m r^2 \] - The relationship between linear speed \( v \) and angular speed \( \omega \) for rolling without slipping is: \[ v = r \omega \implies \omega = \frac{v}{r} \] 3. **Substituting for Rotational Kinetic Energy**: - Substitute \( \omega \) in the RKE: \[ RKE = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{2}{5} m r^2\right) \left(\frac{v}{r}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{5} mv^2 \] 4. **Total Kinetic Energy**: - The total kinetic energy (KE) at the bottom is: \[ KE = TKE + RKE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 + \frac{1}{5} mv^2 = \left(\frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10}\right) mv^2 = \frac{7}{10} mv^2 \] 5. **Setting Up the Energy Equation**: - According to the conservation of energy: \[ mgh = \frac{7}{10} mv^2 \] - We can cancel \( m \) from both sides (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)): \[ gh = \frac{7}{10} v^2 \] 6. **Solving for \( v \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ v^2 = \frac{10}{7} gh \] - Taking the square root: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh} \] ### Final Answer: The speed of the homogeneous solid sphere after rolling down an inclined plane of vertical height \( h \) from rest without slipping will be: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{10}{7} gh} \]
