A wheel in the shape of a flat, heavy, uniform, solid disk is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane of height 2.00 m

when it begins to roll down the incline. If rolling and sliding friction are neglected, what is the linear velocity, in m/s, of the center-of-mass of the wheel when it reached the bottom of the incline?

Answer:

Explanation:

If friction is neglected, the wheel cannot roll and can only slide frictionlessly and will have the same velocity at the bottom of the ramp as if it had been in free fall as it has converted the same amount of potential energy.

mgh = ½mv²

v = √(2gh) = √(2(9.81)(2.00)) = 6.26418... = 6.26 m/s

However if we do not ignore all friction and the wheel rolls without slipping down the slope, the potential energy becomes linear and rotational kinetic energy

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

2gh = v² + ½v²

2gh = 3v²/2

v = √(4gh/3) =√(4(9.81)(2.00)/3) = 5.11468... = 5.11 m/s
