A ball rolls down an inclined groove acquiring a velocity \(V_{T}\) as it reaches the bottom. If the same ball slide without friction rather than rolled from the same height down a similar track to acquire a velocity \(V_{0}\), which of the following statement is true?
  1. Vr < Vs because work must be done by the rolling ball against frictional forces
  2. Vr > Vs because the rotational kinetic energy acquired makes the rolling ball travel faster
  3. Vr = Vs because the kinetic energy must be conserved.
  4. Vr < Vs because the rolling ball acquires rotational as well as translational kinetic energy
  5. Vr < Vs, because the rotating ball has an angular acceleration as well as a linear acceleration

Answer

(D) Vr < Vs because the rolling ball acquires rotational as well as translational kinetic energy
