STANDARD Physics Rolling Motion MCQ Question
A body is rolling down an inclined plane. If kinetic energy of rotation is 40% of kinetic energy in translatory state, then the body is a
ring
cylinder
hollow ball
solid ball
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
For a solid sphere, the rotational kinetic energy is a smaller fraction of the total kinetic energy compared to other shapes. Given that the rotational kinetic energy is 40% of the translational kinetic energy, it matches the characteristics of a solid sphere.
