We could find the speed of a body i.g cylinder, spherical quickly:
 |
where
V = the speed of body at the end of the incline (m/s)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)
h = height of the incline (m)
with k is a constant that you have to remember, three in common
Thin spherical shell → k = 2/3
Uniform sphere → k = 2/5
Solid cylinder → k = 1/2
