Question

Two rotational cylinders roll down an incline plane. Both have the same mass and radius, but one is a solid disk while the other is a hollow cylinder.

Question options:

They will roll down the incline with the same accelerations

The solid cylinder will roll down the incline with a larger acceleration

The hollow cylinder will roll down the incline with a larger acceleration

The hollow cylinder is unable to roll without slipping at any angle

They will roll down the incline with the same accelerations

The solid cylinder will roll down the incline with a larger acceleration

The hollow cylinder will roll down the incline with a larger acceleration

The hollow cylinder is unable to roll without slipping at any angle

Explanation / Answer

The solid cylinder will roll down the incline with a larger acceleration.

They have equal torque but solid cylinder have less rotationsl inertia so it will have more acceleration
