Consider two frictionless inclined planes with the same vertical height. Plane 1 makes an angle of 35° with the horizontal, and plane 2 makes an angle of 55° with the horizontal. Mass m1 is placed at the top of plane 1, and mass m2 is placed at the top of plane 2. Both masses are released at the same time. At the bottom, which mass is going faster?

Two points are on a disk that rotates about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the disk at its center. Point B is 3 times as far from the axis as point A. If the linear speed of point B is V, then the linear speed of point A is
