Question

Two identical cylindrical containers roll without slipping on an incline. One container is filled with clay while the other is filled with water so that their total mass is the same. If the containers are released from the same height which one will reach first the bottom of the incline? out of Select one: on a. the container filled with clay b. the container filled with water c. the containers reach the bottom at the same time d. cannot determine, need to know density of clay and water Previous page Next page Tutorial Quiz 8 Jump to...
