Conservation of Energy in Rolling Motion
Multiple Choice
Multiple ChoiceA solid sphere of mass M = 10 kg and radius R = 2 is rolling without slipping with speed V = 5 m/s on a flat surface when it reaches the bottom of an inclined plane that makes an angle of Θ = 37° with the horizontal. The plane has just enough friction to cause the sphere to roll without slipping while going up. What maximum height will the sphere attain? (Use g = 10 m/s2.)
A
0.175 m
B
0.350 m
C
1.75 m
D
3.50 m
