For an object sliding down a frictionless inclined plane, starting from rest, it is not hard to use energy considerations to show t 2gh, but according to Eq. (10.33), a ball (or other object) that is rolling down that plane will have less speed. Why is this true? Some of the energy goes into rotational motion, so there is less energy for motion of the center of mass O Rolling causes friction, which slows the mass down O The rolling object occasionally slips, which causes it to accelerate less

For an object sliding down a frictionless inclined plane, starting from rest, it is not hard to use energy considerations to show that it will move at a speed given by Vcm2 =
2gh, but according to Eq. (10.33), a ball (or other object) that is rolling down that plane will have less speed. Why is this true?
O Some of the energy goes into rotational motion, so there is less energy for motion of the center of mass
O Rolling causes friction, which slows the mass down
O The rolling object occasionally slips, which causes it to accelerate less
O The rolling object produces a reverse force that slows it down
