Suppose two rings are at the top of a ramp. The ringshave the same mass, but one ring has a much larger radius than theother. Which ring will win the race to the bottom, and why? (Hint:Consider the potential energy, translational kinetic energy, androtational kinetic energy of each ring.)
Please explain with words and not just equations!Thanks.
