Question: A hoop, a solid cylinder, a solid sphere, and a thin, spherical shell each have the same mass of 5 . 3 6 kg and

A hoop, a solid cylinder, a solid sphere, and a thin, spherical shell each have the same mass of 5.36 kg and the same radius of 0.192 m.
(a)
What is the moment of inertia (in kg m2) for each object as it rotates about its axis?
hoop kg m2solid cylinder kg m2solid sphere kg m2thin, spherical shell kg m2
(b)
Each object is rolled down the same ramp, each starting from rest at the same initial height. Each rolls without slipping. Rank the translational speed at the bottom of the ramp for each object from highest to lowest.

(c)
As in part (b), each object is rolled down the same ramp, each starting from rest at the same initial height. Each rolls without slipping. Rank the rotational kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp for each object highest to lowest.
