5 Questions
What is the purpose of the ramp in this scenario?
To allow for static friction, but not kinetic friction.
What happens to the box, ring, and marble when they are released at the same time?
The box slides, while the ring and marble start rolling.
Why might one think that all objects would reach the bottom of the ramp at the same time?
Because when two objects are dropped from the same height in a vacuum, they will hit the ground at the same time.
What is the reason that the objects do not reach the bottom of the ramp at the same time?
The distribution of energy in rolling objects.
What quality of rotational motion needs to be investigated in order to understand which object will reach the bottom first?
Torque.
