Question
A sphere of diameter 0.2 m and mass 2 kg is rolling on an inclined plane with velocity u = 0.5 mls. The kinetic energy of the sphere is
0.1 J
0.3 J
0.5 J
0.42 J
Solution
D.
0.42 J
The kinetic energy of sphere while rolling on an inclined plane is given by
EK =Tanslational kinetic energy + Rotational kinetic energy
