6.System of Particles and Rotational Motion
medium
A solid sphere is rolling down an inclined plane. Then the ratio of its translational kinetic energy to its rotational kinetic energy is
A
$2.5$
B
$1.5$
C
$1$
D
$0.4$
Solution
$\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{T}}}{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{R}}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^{2} \mathrm{K}^{2} / \mathrm{R}^{2}}=\frac{5}{2},\left(\frac{\mathrm{K}^{2}}{\mathrm{R}^{2}}\right)$ for solid sphere $=\frac{2}{5}$
