AIIMS 2019 Physics Kinetic Energy of Rotation MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Ratio of total energy and rotational kinetic energy in the motion of a disc is

A

1:1

B

2:7

C

1:2

D

3:1

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In the motion of a disc, the total energy (E) consists of both translational kinetic energy (TKE) and rotational kinetic energy (RKE). For a disc rolling without slipping, the relationship between these energies is such that TKE is equal to RKE, leading to a ratio of total energy to rotational kinetic energy of 1:1. Other options are incorrect because they suggest different relationships that do not hold true for a disc in pure rolling motion, where both forms of kinetic energy contribute equally to the total energy.
