Q.

A hollow sphere is rolling on a plane surface about its axis of symmetry. The ratio of rotational kinetic energy to its total kinetic energy is x5. The value of x is _______ .          [2024]


Ans.

(2)       KERotKETrans=12Iω212Iω2+12mv2=(12)(23mR2)ω2(12)(23mR2)ω2+12m(Rω)2

           KERotKETrans=2323+1=25

          Hence, x=2
