The rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy of a rolling body are same, the body is
  1. disc
  2. sphere
  3. cylinder
  4. ring

Solution

Translational kinetic energy of a ring is: $\mathrm{KE}_{\text {Trans }}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2$ Rotational kinetic energy of the ring is: $\begin{aligned} \mathrm{KE}_{\text {Rolling }} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{I} \omega^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mR}^2 \omega^2 \\ \mathrm{KE}_{\text {Rolling }} & =\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{mv}^2 \quad(\because \mathrm{v}=\omega \mathrm{R}) \end{aligned}$
