Rotational Motion Review

A child kicks a ball which rolls across a field with a velocity of 5 m/s. You may assume the ball doesn’t slip, and treat it as a hollow sphere of mass 0.43 kg and radius 0.11 meter.

What is the ball’s rotational velocity?

• 45.5 rad/s

• 0.047 rad/s

• 413 rad/s

• 0.0605 rad/s

Two uniform solid balls, one of radius R and mass M, the other of radius 2R and mass 8M, roll down a high incline. They start together from rest at the top of the incline. Which one will reach the bottom of the incline first?

• The large sphere arrives first.
• Both reach the bottom at the same time.

Because a hollow ball has a higher moment of inertia than a solid ball...

• The solid ball rolls faster
• The solid ball weighs more.
• The solid ball weighs less.
• They both accelerate at the same rate.

• 12 J

• 24 J

• 36 J

• 48 J
