STANDARD Physics Rolling Motion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

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

A

ring

B

cylinder

C

hollow ball

D

solid ball

Correct Answer

Option D

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.
