A solid sphere of mass 2 kg and radius 0.5 m is rolling without slipping on a horizontal surface. The ratio of the rotational and translational kinetic energies of the sphere is

  1. A \(3: 5\)
  2. B \(2: 5\)
  3. C \(4: 5\)
  4. D \(7: 5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(2: 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_{sphere} = \frac{2}{5}mR^2\) \(K_{rot} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}mR^2\right)\left(\frac{v}{R}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{5}mv^2\) \(K_{trans} = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\)…
