Rolling motion
Question

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

Easy
Solution

\large \frac{{K.{E_t}}}{{K.{E_t} + K.{E_r}}} = \frac{{\frac{1}{2}m{v^2}}}{{\frac{1}{2}m{v^2}\left( {1 + \frac{K^2}{R^2} } \right)}}
\large =\frac {1}{1+\frac{K^2}{R^2}}=\frac {1}{1+2/5}=\frac 57
