Question
A solid sphere, a hollow sphere and a disc, all having same mass and radius, are placed at the top of an incline and released. The friction coefficients between the objects and the incline are same and not sufficient to allow pure rolling. Least time will be taken in reaching the bottom by:
  1. The solid sphere.
  2. The hollow sphere.
  3. The disc.
  4. All will take same time.
✓

Answer

  1. All will take same time.

Explanation:

Let $\theta$ be the inclination angle.

From the free body diagram, we have:

$\text{N}=\text{mg}\cos\theta\ \dots(\text{i})$

$\text{ma}=\text{mg}\sin\theta-\text{f}_{\text{r}}\ \dots(\text{ii})$

Putting $\text{f}_{\text{r}}=\mu\text{N}$ in (ii) we get,

$\text{a}=\text{g}(\sin\theta-\mu\cos\theta)$

The friction coefficients between the objects and the incline are same and not sufficient to allow pure rolling; therefore, all the bodies come down with the same acceleration.

The binding energy of a H-atom, considering an electron moving around a fixed nuclei (proton), is $\text{B}=-\frac{\text{me}^4}{8\text{n}^2\in_0^2\text{h}^2}$. (m = electron mass).
If one decides to work in a frame of reference where the electron is at rest, the proton would be moving arround it. By similar arguments, the binding energy would be,
