$A$ ball is rolling without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its center of mass is $K$. If the radius of the ball is $R$,what fraction of the total energy is rotational kinetic energy?

  • A
    $K^2 / R^2$
  • B
    $K^2 / (K^2 + R^2)$
  • C

Consider a situation in which a ring,a solid cylinder,and a solid sphere roll down on the same inclined plane without slipping. Assume that they start rolling from rest and have identical diameters. The correct statement for this situation is:

$A$ solid cylinder of mass $2 \; kg$ and radius $50 \; cm$ rolls up an inclined plane of angle of inclination $30^{\circ}$. The centre of mass of the cylinder has a speed of $4 \; m/s$. The distance travelled by the cylinder on the inclined surface will be ...... $m$.
