-
you're going to get V^2≠2·g·h,
-
as you normally would.
-
You're going to get V^2=(4/3)·g·h.
-
So, it'll be moving somewhat slower than a point particle.
-
See, if it rolls without slipping,
-
then you will be traveling slower at the foot of the ramp.
-
So, what did I do?
-
I used the Law of Conservation of Energy.
-
That's all I did.
-
But in finding the kinetic energy at the bottom,
-
I was careful to not just take (1/2)·m·V^2.
-
This is the energy of a point particle,
