Question

A uniform disk a uniform hoop and a uniform sphere are released at the same time at the top of an inclined ramp. They all roll without slipping in what order do they reach the bottom of the ramp?

a. disk hoop, sphere
b. sphere, hoop, disk
c. hoop, sphere, disk
d. sphere, disk, hoop
e. hoop, disk, sphere

Answer 1

D. The sphere the disk and the hoop

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the sphere has inertial of

2/5mR²

Disk 1/2mR²

Hope mR²

So these are moment of inertial which is resistance or opposition to rotation so since the sphere has a smaller moment to inertial it will move faster and reach the ground first then the disk then the hoop in that order
