Consider a ball that rolls down a hill as compared to an object (such as a skier) that slides down a frictionless hill of the same height. Which of the following statements is correct regarding their speeds at the bottom of the hill?

(a) The ball has a higher linear speed because it does not slip.

(b) The sliding object has a higher speed because the hill is frictionless.

(c) The ball and skier have the same speed at the bottom of the hill.

(d) The ball has a smaller linear speed because some of its kinetic energy goes into rotational motion.
