Consider a situation in which a ring,a solid cylinder,and a solid sphere roll down on the same inclined plane without slipping. Assume that they start rolling from rest and have identical diameters. The correct statement for this situation is:

  • A
    The sphere has the greatest and the ring has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
  • B
    The ring has the greatest and the cylinder has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.
  • C
    All of them will have the same velocity.
  • D
    The cylinder has the greatest and the sphere has the least velocity of the centre of mass at the bottom of the inclined plane.

$A$ uniform solid spherical ball is rolling down a smooth inclined plane from a height $h$. The velocity attained by the ball when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane is $v$. If the ball is now thrown vertically upwards with the same velocity $v$, the maximum height to which the ball will rise is

$A$ solid cylinder rolls up an inclined plane of angle of inclination $30^{\circ}$. At the bottom of the inclined plane,the centre of mass of the cylinder has a speed of $5 \; m/s$.

$Assertion$ : 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 rolls down the same plane.
$Reason$ : In rolling down,a body acquires both kinetic energy of translation and rotation.

Two identical uniform discs roll without slipping on two different surfaces $AB$ and $CD$ (see figure) starting at $A$ and $C$ with linear speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$,respectively,and always remain in contact with the surfaces. If they reach $B$ and $D$ with the same linear speed and $v_1 = 3 \ m/s$,then $v_2$ in $m/s$ is $(g = 10 \ m/s^2)$.
