Question

Problem 62P

A basketball rolls along the floor with a constant linear speed v. (a) Find the fraction of its total kinetic energy that is in the form of rotational kinetic energy about the center of the ball. (b) If the linear speed of the ball is doubled to 2v, does your answer to part (a) increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain.

Solution

Step 1 of 3

a)We have to calculate the fraction of Total kinetic energy and Rotational kinetic energy.

b)We are required to to identify the the ratio when the linear speed is doubled to part (a)
