Rolling Motion

A solid spherical ball is rolling on a frictionless horizontal plane surface about its axis of symmetry. The ratio of rotational kinetic energy of the ball to its total kinetic energy is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. KrotKtotal=k2/R21+k2/R2\frac{K_{rot}}{K_{total}} = \frac{k^2/R^2}{1 + k^2/R^2}
  2. Solid sphere: k2R2=25\frac{k^2}{R^2} = \frac{2}{5}, so ratio =2/57/5=27= \frac{2/5}{7/5} = \frac{2}{7}
  3. So the answer is (b) 27\frac{2}{7}.
