Correct answer: 2
- For a body rolling without slipping,
v = omega R
where is the speed of the center of mass.
- Total kinetic energy of a rolling body is the sum of translational and rotational kinetic energies:
- For a hollow sphere (thin spherical shell) about its symmetry axis,
- Rotational kinetic energy:
Using ,
- Translational kinetic energy:
So total kinetic energy is
- Therefore, the required ratio is
Given that this ratio is ,
Hence,
