A coin with a radius of 5 cm rolls down a 30° inclined plane in a straight line without slipping. When the coin is at a height of 50 cm above the ground, it's angular speed is 45.0 rad/s. If the moment of inertia of the coin is (1/2) MR2, what will be the velocity of the coin when it reaches the ground ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Assume that the ground will be the datum point.

On the system, no external force is acting on this. Therefore, from conservation of energy.
