Rolling motion
Question

A uniform sphere of mass 500 g rolls without slipping on a plane horizontal surface with its centre moving at a speed of 5.00 cm/s. Its kinetic energy is :

Easy
Solution

 

K.E of the sphere = Translational K.E + Rotational K.E.
KE = 12mv21+K2R2  K= Radius of gyration
KE = 12×0.5×510021+25  =  354×104J = 8.75×104J
