A thin disc and a thin ring, both have mass M and radius R . Both rotate about axes through their center of mass and are perpendicular to their surfaces at the same angular velocity. Which of the following is true?
Options
- AThe ring has higher kinetic energy
- BThe disc has higher kinetic energy
- CThe ring and the disc have the same kinetic energy
- DKinetic energies of both the bodies are zero since they are not in linear motion
Correct answer
A. The ring has higher kinetic energy
Step-by-step solution
kinetic energy of ring is 1 / 2 2 MR2 while that of ring is 1 / 4 2 MR 2 . Hence K .E of ring K .E of disc.
