Using the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, determine the speed of the object when it reaches the base of the inclined plane.
- 3√2/4g
- 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² = mg × 3√2/4g
- 1/2 Iω² = 3/4 mv² - 1/2 mv²
- 1/2 (v²/R²) = mv² or I = 1/2 mR²
Correct answer: 1/2 Iω² + 1/2 mv² = mg × 3√2/4g
Solution
Option B represents the correct application of the law of conservation of mechanical energy, where the total energy (potential + kinetic) is conserved. The equation equates the initial potential energy to the sum of rotational and translational kinetic energies at the bottom of the incline.
