(b) $2: 5$

(c) $10: 7$

(d) $5: 7$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 91.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) $E =E_t+E_r=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2} $

$=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} \times(\frac{2}{5} m r^{2}) $ $\omega^{2} $

$ =\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{5} m v^{2}=\frac{7}{10} m v^{2} $

$\therefore \frac{E_t}{E} =\frac{\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}}{\frac{7}{10} m v^{2}}=\frac{5}{7}$
