Answer:
1 ) Distribution of mass within the ball
2 ) Height of the ramp
Explanation:
Acceleration of a rolling body down an inclined plane is given by the following formula
a = g sinθ / ( 1 + k² / R² )
k is radius of gyration , R is radius of the spherical object ,
when acceleration is more , velocity will also be more .
for objects in which masses are lying in the periphery like in hollow sphere , the value of k²/R² will be high so denominator of the expression will be high so acceleration will be less , hence velocity on reaching the bottom will be less.
On mass of the ball , velocity will not depend .
If height is increased , ball will have acceleration for greater time so velocity will be high.
On radius it will not depend because , radius r and k increases proportionately.
