The rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy of a rolling body are same, the body is

  1. A disc
  2. B sphere
  3. C cylinder
  4. D ring
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) ring

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Translational kinetic energy of a ring is:
\(\mathrm{KE}_{\text {Trans }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2\)
Rotational kinetic energy of the ring is:
\(\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE}_{\text {Rolling }} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2 \\& =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mR}^2 \omega^2 \\
\mathrm{KE}_{\text {Rolling }} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2 \quad(\because \mathrm{v}=\omega \mathrm{R})\end{aligned}\)
