Rolling Motion

A ball rolls without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its centre of mass is K. If radius of the ball be R. then the fraction of total energy associated with its rotational energy will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. KErot=12mK2ω2KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}mK^2\omega^2 and KEtr=12mv2=12mR2ω2KE_{tr} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mR^2\omega^2.
  2. Fraction =K2K2+R2= \dfrac{K^2}{K^2 + R^2}.
  3. So the answer is (c).
