Q96 / 180 · AIIMS 2007 · Physics

If a solid sphere of mass \(1 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(0.1 \mathrm{~m}\) rolls without slipping at a uniform velocity of \(1 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) along a straight line on a horizontal floor, the kinetic energy is

  • A
    \(\frac{7}{5} \mathrm{~J}\)
  • B
    \(\frac{2}{5} \mathrm{~J}\)
  • Correct answer
    C
    \(\frac{7}{10} \mathrm{~J}\)
  • D
    \(1 \mathrm{~J}\)

Solution

\(\begin{gathered} \mathrm{K} . \mathrm{E} \text { of rolling }=\left(\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} I \cdot \frac{v^2}{R^2}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{K} \cdot \mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{5} \cdot \frac{m R^2 \cdot v^2}{R^2} \\ \mathrm{~K} . \mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} m v^2 \times \frac{7}{5} \\ m=1 \mathrm{~kg}, \quad v = 1 ~m/s \\ \mathrm{~K} \cdot \mathrm{E}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 1 \times \frac{7}{5}=\frac{7}{10} \mathrm{~J} \end{gathered}\)

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
