Question 381: Centre of Mass and Rotational Motion

Question

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)

Accepted Answer

Each bodies is sliding along the frictionless inclined plane and there is no rolling, therefore the acceleration of all the bodies is same $$\left( {g\,\sin \,	heta } ight).$$

Answer

solid sphere

Answer

hollow sphere

Answer

ring

Answer

all same
