Hello!!
I need help with my physics lab homework. I notice that it does not matter if I change the angle, or the mass, or the radius, the object2 always takes less time to get to the bottom of the inclined plan than the other objects; the object1 always is the second fastest object, the object3 is the third fastest object, and the object4 is the slowest object to get to the bottom. my question is why ?
Please see images to understand what I mean.
Thank you a lot
first image is the worksheet with the infos I have use in the lab. ( ps: object1= solid cylinder, object2= solid sphere, object3= thin cylindrical shell, object4= thin spherical shell)
second image is the lab that i am working on

You are designing the section of a roller coaster ride shown in the figure. Previous sections of the ride give the train a speed of 10.7 m/s at the top of the incline, which is h=37.5 m above the ground. As any good engineer would, you begin your design with safety in mind. Your local government's safety regulations state that the riders' centripetal acceleration should be no more than n=1.73 g at the top of the hump and no more than N=5.45 gat the bottom of the loop. For this initial phase of your design, you decide to ignore the effects of friction and air resistance. (Figure not to scale)What is the minimum radius Rhump you can use for the semi-circular hump?What is the minimum radius Rloop you can use for the vertical loop?

As part of your interview you have been asked to evaluate the design for a stunt in a new Indiana Jones production. A large spherical boulder starts from rest and rolls down an inclined track. At the bottom, the track curves up into a vertical circle so that the boulder can roll around on the inside of the circle and come back to ground level. It is important that the boulder not fall off the track at the top of the circle and crush the star standing below. You have been asked to determine the relationship between the heights of the boulder’s starting point on the ramp (measured from the center of the boulder) and the maximum radius of the circular part of the track.
