Question

A solid sphere of mass 2kg and radius 0.6m rotates about its center at 5rad/s. What is its rotational kinetic energy?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

I = 25MR2 = 25×2×(0.6)2 = 0.288kg m2. K = 12Iω2 = 12×0.288×(5)2 = 0.144×25 = 3.6J. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 3.6 J. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
