A solid sphere is rolling on a frictionless surface, shown
in figure with a translational velocity . If it is to climb the inclined surface then should be

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
From conservation of energy
Potential energy = translational kinetic energy + rotational kinetic energy
\begin{array}{r}
m g h=\frac{1}{2} m v^2+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{2}{5}\right) m R^2 \cdot \frac{v^2}{R^2} \\
\Rightarrow \quad \frac{7}{10} m v^2=m g h \Rightarrow v \geq \sqrt{\frac{10}{7} g h}
\end{array}
