Question Number 24022 by Tinkutara last updated on 11/Nov/17

A one kg ball rolling on a smooth  horizontal surface at 20 m s^(−1)  comes to  the bottom of an inclined plane making  an angle of 30° with the horizontal.  Calculate K.E. of the ball when it is at  the bottom of incline. How far up the  incline will the ball roll? Neglect  friction.

KE=(1/2)mv^2 +(1/2)×((2mr^2 )/5)×((v/r))^2 =(7/(10))×mv^2   =(7/(10))×1×20^2 =280 J    mgLsin θ=KE=(7/(10))mv^2   ⇒L=((7v^2 )/(10gsin θ))=((7×20^2 )/(10×10×(1/2)))=56 m

$${KE}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}{mv}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{2}{mr}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{5}}×\left(\frac{{v}}{{r}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{10}}×{mv}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{10}}×\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{20}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{280}\:{J} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${mgL}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta={KE}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{10}}{mv}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{L}=\frac{\mathrm{7}{v}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{10}{g}\mathrm{sin}\:\theta}=\frac{\mathrm{7}×\mathrm{20}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{10}×\mathrm{10}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}}=\mathrm{56}\:{m} \\ $$
