A block and a sphere of equal mass released from height h.
A block and a sphere of equal mass released from height h.
A uniform solid sphere and a block, both of mass \(M\), are released from rest from the top of two identical inclines of height \(h\). The incline for the block is frictionless, while the incline for the sphere has sufficient friction to allow it to roll without slipping. Air resistance is negligible. Which of the following correctly compares the total mechanical energy \(E\) of the object-Earth system and the translational speed \(v\) of the objects when they reach the bottom of their respective inclines?
