Two identical blocks fall a distance H. One falls directly down, the other slides down a frictionless incline. Which has the larger speed at the bottom?

Sagot :

The question incomplete, the complete question is;

Two identical blocks fall a distance H. One falls directly down, the other slides down a frictionless incline.

(A)the one falling vertically

(B)the one on the incline

(C)Both have the same speed.

(D)cannot be determined

Answer:

(C)Both have the same speed.

Explanation:

When we consider the question closely, we will discover that an object falling down a frictionless incline is comparable to an object falling freely under gravity.

In both instances, the acceleration of objects is just the same irrespective of mass.

Hence, the object falling vertically and the object sliding down a frictionless plane will have the same speed at the bottom.
