Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 1 × 5 = 5 marks
11.
Using energy conservation, derive the speed of a body rolling without slipping down an incline of height $h$, and use it to explain why a solid sphere beats a ring.

Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (A) torque
  2. (B) $\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$
  3. (A) $v=\omega R$
  4. (B) $\tau\omega$
  5. (C) solid sphere
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks)
  1. $\alpha=2\ \text{rad/s}^2$.
  2. $KE=10\ \text{J}$.
  3. The centre speed and angular speed satisfy $v=\omega R$ (contact point at rest).
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. $KE=\frac{1}{2}(1)(16)(1.4)=11.2\ \text{J}$.
  2. $v=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)(1)}{2}}=\sqrt{10}\approx3.16\ \text{m/s}$.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. Energy conservation gives $mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2(1+k^2/R^2)$, so $v=\sqrt{\frac{2gh}{1+k^2/R^2}}$; the smaller $k^2/R^2$ of the sphere ($\tfrac{2}{5}$ vs $1$) gives a larger $v$, so the sphere wins.
