Consider two frictionless inclined planes with the same vertical height. Plane $1$ makes an angle of $35\mathrm{.}0$ with the horizontal, and plane $2$ makes an angle of $65\mathrm{.}0$ with the horizontal. Mass $m_1$ is placed at the top of plane $1,$ and mass $m_2$ is placed at the top of plane $2.$ Both masses are released at the same time.

Part A

At the bottom, which mass is going faster?

$m_1$

$m_2$

Neither; they both have the same speed at the bottom.
