A cylinder rolling down a slope

The other week I was asked to explain how a cylinder (or ball) rolling down a slope differs from e.g. a ball being dropped vertically. It is an interesting question, because it illustrates some things which are not immediately obvious. We all know that, if you drop two balls, say a tennis ball and a…

A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder, both of the same mass and same external diameter are released from the same height at the same time on an inclined plane. Both roll

The cylinder starts from rest and rolls down the incline. Solve the problem for the rolling cylinder. lcylid = (1/2) MR2.

If I have a solid rod and hollow rod with the same mass and I let them roll down a ramp, which one reaches the bottom first and why? - Free Body

A cylinder and a block are at the top of an inclined ramp. The cylinder rolls down the ramp without slipping; the block falls vertically without friction at the same instant. (a)

A solid ball, a solid cylinder, and a hallow cylinder roll down a slope, which one reaches the bottom first? Which is last? Does it matter whether the radii are the same?
