Final Velocity of a Hollow Sphere Rolling Down a Height Calculator

Final Velocity of a Hollow Sphere Rolling Down a Height Calculator

Calculate the final velocity of a hollow sphere (rolling without slipping) down a height using:
\[ v = \sqrt{\frac{6\,g\,h}{5}} \] where \(h\) is the height and \(g\) is the gravitational acceleration.

* Ensure the sphere rolls without slipping.

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 5 m

Example: 9.81 m/s²

Formula: \( v = \sqrt{\frac{6\,g\,h}{5}} \)


Practical Example:
For a height of 5 m and \( g = 9.81 \) m/s², the final velocity is:
\[ v = \sqrt{\frac{6 \times 9.81 \times 5}{5}} = \sqrt{6 \times 9.81} \approx \sqrt{58.86} \approx 7.67\, \text{m/s} \]
