Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{5}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{KE}_{(T)}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \\
& \mathrm{KE}_{(R)}=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{5} m R^2 \cdot \frac{v^2}{R^2}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)
\end{aligned}\)
So, \(\frac{\mathrm{KE}_{(T)}}{\mathrm{KE}_{(R)}}=\frac{5}{2}\)
