    If a sphere is rolling, the ratio of its rotational energy to the total kinetic energy is given by

    A)  7 : 10                                    

    B)  2 : 5

    C)  10 : 7                                    

    D)  2 : 7

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     For a solid sphere rolling down Translation \[KE=\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}\] Rotational \[KE=\frac{1}{2}I{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}} \right]{{\left[ \frac{v}{R} \right]}^{2}}\]              \[\left[ \begin{align}   & As\text{ }for\,a\text{ }sphere \\  & \,\,\,\,\,\,I=\frac{2}{5}M{{R}^{2}} \\ \end{align} \right]\] \[\therefore \] Total kinetic energy of rolling is                 \[\frac{1}{2}M{{v}^{2}}+\frac{1}{5}M{{v}^{2}}=\frac{7}{10}M{{v}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] Ratio of rotational kinetic energy to total kinetic energy \[=\frac{\frac{1}{5}M{{v}^{2}}}{\frac{7}{10}M{{v}^{2}}}=\frac{2}{7}\]
