Question

*PIC PROVIDED*

A solid disk of mass (M) and radius (R) rolls without slipping with a linear speed of (v). Find the maximum vertical height (h) to which it can roll if it goes up an incline. Answer in terms of M, R, v, and g.

(I assume g is for gravity)

Answer 1

1/2 M V^2 = M g H

Initial kinetic energy equals final potential energy

H = V^2 / (2 g) satisfies given conditions
