Ball Rolling Up Inclined Plane
The figure shows an example of a cart moving down a ramp.
Ball rolling up inclined plane. In this video i will find the velocity of a solid ball propelled by a spring at the bottom of an incline and the distance the ball traveled on the incline before it comes to a stop. Just plug this information into the following equation. Before looking at rolling objects let s look at a non rolling object. Next video can.
Suppose that i have some frictionless block on an inclined plane. As a result galileo tried to decelerate its motion by replacing the falling object with a ball rolling down an inclined plane. In physics you can calculate the velocity of an object as it moves along an inclined plane as long as you know the object s initial velocity displacement and acceleration. A bowling ball and billiard ball race ends in a tie for example.
Since free falling is essentially equivalent to a completely vertical ramp he assumed that a ball rolling down a ramp would speed up in the exact same way as a falling ball would. It is wide enough 0 4 m to race objects side by side down the hill. The inclined plane is 2 meters long and is adjustable up to 20 w r t. Since the velocities do not depend on the size or mass of the object it s recommended that you first race similar objects.
