Q. |
A sphere rolls down on two inclined planes of different angles but same height, it does so – |
A. | in the same time |
B. | with the same speed |
C. | in the same time with the same speed |
D. | in the same time with the same kinetic energy |
Answer» B. with the same speed | |
Explanation: The velocity of the sphere at the bottom depends only on height and acceleration due to gravity. Both these values are constants. Therefore, the velocity at the bottom remains the same whichever inclined plane the sphere is rolled. However, the sphere will take longer time to reach the bottom of the inclined plane having the smaller inclination. The kinetic energy willbe the same. What will differ is time taken to reach the bottom. |
