Rolling Motion

For a rolling spherical shell, the ratio of rotational kinetic energy and total kinetic energy is x5\frac{x}{5}. The value of xx is ___________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

  1. Spherical shell: I=23mR2I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2, so k2R2=23\frac{k^2}{R^2} = \frac{2}{3}.
  2. KrotKtotal=2/35/3=25\frac{K_{rot}}{K_{total}} = \frac{2/3}{5/3} = \frac{2}{5}
  3. So x=2x = 2.
