Question

A solid sphere of radius r and mass m is rotating about an axis passing through its COM with an angular speed ω and has rotational kinetic energy k1.

Solution

The correct option is C k1=k2
Given,
r1=r; m1=m, ω1=ω
r2=r2; m2=m; ω2=2ω
Rotational kinetic energy of solid sphere for 1st case:
k1=12I1ω21=12(25m1r21)ω21
k1=15mr2ω2
Rotational kinetic energy of solid sphere for 2nd case:
k2=12I2w22=12(25m2r22)w22
k2=15mr2w2
k1=k20
