A solid cylinder and a hollow cylinder are simultaneously released from rest at the top of a frictionless incline and roll down without slipping. Assume that both objects have the same mass M and the same radius R. When both objects reach the bottom of the incline, the hollow cylinder will have the larger rotational kinetic energy.
