A uniform solid disk and a uniform ring are place side by side at the top of a rough incline of height h. a) If they are released from rest and roll without slipping, determine the velocity vring of the ring when it reaches the bottom.
b) Verify your answer by calculating their speeds when they reach the bottom in terms of h.

Explanation:

velocity of disc

lets call (h) 1 m to make it simple.

= 3.614 m/s

m/s pointing towards this:

velocity of hoop=

lets call (h) 1m to make it simple again.

m/s

The disc is the fastest.

While i'm on this subject i'll show you this:

Solid ball

solid disc

hoop

The above is simplified from linear KE + rotational KE, the radius or mass makes no difference to the above formula.

The solid ball will be the faster of the 3, like above i'll show you.

solid ball: velocity

let (h) be 1m again to compare.

m/s

solid disk speed

uniform hoop speed

solid sphere speed

d

explanation:

i think the answer is d. but im not sure!
