If the inclined plane is not frictionless, you have to know the coefficient of friction.
If it is frictionless, then
PE=KE=KE(transl) +KE(rot)
mgh= mv²/2 + Iω²/2.
I=mR²/2, ω=v/R
mgh= mv²/2 + mR² v²/4 R²=
= 3mv²/4
v=sqrt(4gh/3)
I am stuck on this question. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
A 0.082 kg solid cylinder with a radius of 1.90 cm, is placed at the top of a 30º inclined plane of height 29.5 cm. If the inclined plane is not frictionless, and the cylinder does roll, determine the speed of the cylinder at the bottom.
