Question
A sphere cannot roll on
Options
a smooth horizontal surface
a smooth inclined surface
a rough horizontal surface
a rough inclined surface.
Solution
a smooth inclined surface
A sphere cannot roll on a smooth inclined surface and on a smooth horizontal surface because there is no backward force (force of friction) to prevent its slipping.
