Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
A solid sphere is in rolling motion. In rolling motion a body possesses translational kinetic energy \( \left(K_{t}\right) \) as well as rotational kinetic energy \( \left(K_{r}\right) \) simultaneously. The ratio \( K_{t}:\left(K_{t}+K_{r}\right) \) for the sphere is

The correct answer is: \( 5: 7 \)
Transnational KE = 1 2 m v 2
Translational KE+
Rotational KE
= 1 2 m v 2 + 1 2 I ω 2
= 1 2 m v 2 + 1 2 ( 2 5 m r 2 ) ω 2
for rolling motion v=rω
= 1 2 m v 2 + 1 2 × 2 5 m r 2 ( v r ) 2 = 7 10 m v 2
So, K t K t + K r = 1 2 m v 2 7 10 m v 2 = 5 7
