A ball rolls without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its centre of 
mass is K. If radius of the ball be R, then the fraction of total energy associated with its rotational energy
will be

a
K2K2+R2
b
R2K2+R2
c
K2+R2R2
d
K2R2

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Moment of inertia,  I=mK2∵  Ball is rolling without slipping, v=RωTranslational kinetic energy,  KR=12Iω2=mK2v22R2∴   Total kinetic energy  =12mv2+mK2v22R2Required fraction  =mK2v22R212mv2+mK2v22R2=K2R2+K2
