A disk and a solid sphere have uniform density. If the two are released simultaneously at the top of an inclined plane and roll without slipping, which one will reach the bottom first?

the disk, because of smaller translational kinetic energy.

the sphere, because of smaller translational kinetic energy.

They reach the bottom at the same time since they start from the same height.

the sphere, because of greater translational kinetic energy
