Q.

A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body possesses translational kinetic energy (Kt) as well as rotational kinetic energy (Kr) simultaneously. The ratio Kt:(Kt+Kr) for the sphere is            [2018, 1991]
 

1 7 : 10  
2 5 : 7  
3 10 : 7  
4 2 : 5  

Ans.

(2)

Translational kinetic energy, Kt=12mv2

Rotational kinetic energy, Kr=12Iω2

  Kt+Kr=12mv2+12Iω2=12mv2+12(25mr2)(vr)2

  Kt+Kr=710mv2                                                  [I=25mr2 (for sphere)]

So,   KtKt+Kr=57
