Correct answer: 10
- Write total kinetic energy for rolling without slipping
For a body rolling without slipping, with
- Moment of inertia of a solid sphere
For a solid sphere about its centre,
So rotational kinetic energy becomes
= \frac{1}{5}mv^2.$$ 3. **Total kinetic energy** Hence, $$K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{5}mv^2 = \left(\frac{5}{10}+\frac{2}{10}\right)mv^2 = \frac{7}{10}mv^2.$$ 4. **Substitute given values** Given: $$m = 1\text{ kg}, \qquad K = 7\times 10^{-3}\text{ J}.$$ So, $$7\times 10^{-3} = \frac{7}{10}(1)v^2.$$ Cancel 7 on both sides: $$10^{-3} = \frac{1}{10}v^2$$ $$v^2 = 10^{-2}$$ $$v = 10^{-1}\text{ m/s} = 0.1\text{ m/s}.$$ 5. **Convert to cm/s** $$0.1\text{ m/s} = 10\text{ cm/s}.$$ ## Final Answer $$\boxed{10}$$More from Rotational Motion
