Question
A solid ball and a hollow ball, each with a mass of 1.00 kg and radius of 0.100 m start from rest and roll down a ramp of length 3.00 m at an incline of 35.0 degrees. AN ice cube of the same mass slides without friction down the same ramp.
a) which ball will reach the bottom first? Explain

Answer:
The solid ball and hollow ball both will reach the bottom with the same speed.
Explanation:
The speed of the solid and hollow balls is independent of the mass and the radius. A solid and hollow ball experience same speed on a given incline.
The speed can be calculated as
v = √(10/7)gh
where g is gravitational acceleration and h is the height
sinθ = h/L
h = L*sinθ
h = 3*sin(35)
h = 1.72 m
v = √(10/7)*9.8*1.72
v = 4.91 m/s
Both balls will reach the bottom at the speed of 4.91 m/s.
