Now consider a race up the incline. A hoop and a cylinder have exactly the same translational speed at the bottom of an incline. Although irrelevant, you may consider both to have identical radii and masses. Using arguments similar to those for the downhill race, predict which will roll the farthest up the incline. You may do the calculations if you wish, but you must defend your answer with WORDS!
