Rolling Motion

A solid cylinder of radius rr and mass MM rolls down an inclined plane of height hh. When it reaches the bottom of the plane, then its rotational kinetic energy is (g=g = acceleration due to gravity)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Total KE at the bottom =Mgh= Mgh.
  2. Solid cylinder: Krot=14Mv2K_{rot} = \frac{1}{4}Mv^2, Ktotal=34Mv2K_{total} = \frac{3}{4}Mv^2, so Krot=13KtotalK_{rot} = \frac{1}{3}K_{total}
  3. Krot=Mgh3K_{rot} = \frac{Mgh}{3}
  4. So the answer is (d) Mgh3\frac{Mgh}{3}.
