A solid sphere is rolling without slipping on a horizontal plane. The ratio of the linear kinetic energy of the centre of mass of the sphere and rotational kinetic energy is :
[JEE Main 2025, 24 Jan (Shift 2)]
✓ Correct answer: a)
\(\frac{5}{2}\)
Explanation
Required ratio \(=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m{v}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}I{\omega }^{2}}\)
Using \((V=\omega R)\), we get
\(=\frac{\frac{1}{2}m(\omega R{)}^{2}}{\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{5}m{R}^{2}\times {\omega }^{2}}=\frac{5}{2}\)
