MCQ
A heavy solid sphere is thrown on a horizontal rough surface with initial velocity $u$ without rolling. What will be its speed, when it starts pure rolling motion?
  • A
    $\frac{3 u}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 u}{5}$
  • $\frac{5 u}{7}$
  • D
    $\frac{2 u}{7}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{5 u}{7}$
c
(c)

Using angular momentum conservation

$m u r=m v r+\frac{2}{5} m r^2\left(\frac{v}{r}\right)$

$u=7 \frac{v}{5}$

$v=\frac{5 u}{7}$
