A little help please, rotational and youngs modulus

Homework Statement


A solid Ball with a mass of 3kg and r=1m is suspended in the center of a hollow ball of mass=1kg and r=3m. It is placed at rest on a 33 degree incline. after rolling 1km along the incline what's the final tangetial velocity? what's the objects final angular momentum?


Homework Equations


I know i need I=mr^2
and I am pretty sure this is a conservative problem so KEi+PEi=KEf+PEf
KE=Iw^2 and KE=1/2mv^2
PE=mgh or mgr

The Attempt at a Solution


Im not too sure how to input the problem at all...should I combine the two moments of Inertia? then go from there or should they both be done separately? This problem is killing me

thanks in advance everyone

Hi invisiblewar! :smile:

(have an omega: ω :wink:)

Yes, moments of inertia (about the same axis) are scalars, so you just add them. :smile:

(and it's rolling, so don't forget to find the equation relating v to ω :wink:)
 


awesome thanks so much
