Hey I'm having a stab at this past exam question, which unfortunately there are no answers to.
1 A uniform solid ball rolls down a slope. If the ball has a diameter of 0.5 m and a mass of 0.1 kg, find the following: (a) The equation which describes the velocity of the ball at any time, given that it starts from rest. Clearly state any assumptions you make. [3 marks] (b) If the slope has an incline of 300 to the horizontal, what is the speed of the ball after it travels 3m? [1 mark] (c) At this point, what is the angular momentum of the ball? [1 mark] (d) If the coefficient of friction between the ball and the slope is 0.26, what is the maximum angle of inclination the slope could have which still allows the ball to roll? [5 marks]
I got v = 5.25 ms-1 for b?
Also I don't know what I'm supposed to put for c, seeing as r isn't given?
Thanks a lot for any help
Edit: Also, i'm not sure if D should read minimum angle or not? if it does I got 14.57 degrees...
