6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium

A body is rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane. If the rotational energy of the body is $40\%$ of the total kinetic energy, then the body might be 

A

 Cylinder

B

Hollow sphere

C

Solid cylinder

D

ring

Solution

$\frac{\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}}=\frac{40}{60}$

$v=R \omega$

hence $I=\frac{2}{3} m R^{2}$

$Hollow \,sphere$
