A uniform disc of mass and radius is projected with velocity at on a rough horizontal surface. It starts off with a purely sliding motion at . After it acquires a purely rolling motion (see figure). The total kinetic energy of the disc after will be ______ .
(given, coefficient of friction is and ).
Solution
Acceleration of the disc, .
Now, velocity of the centre of mass
Now total kinetic energy during pure rolling() will become,
