A uniform sphere of mass
and radius
is placed on a rough horizontal surface (Fig.). The sphere is struck horizontally at a height
from the floor. Match the Column-I with Column-II.

Column-I | Column-II | ||
(A) | (I) | Sphere rolls without slipping with a constant velocity and no loss of energy | |
(B) | (II) | Sphere spins clockwise, loses energy by friction. | |
(C) | (III) | Sphere spins anti-clockwise, loses energy by friction. | |
(D) | (IV) | Sphere has only translational motion, loses energy by friction. |

Let the sphere of mass
and radius
be struck horizontally at a height
from the floor, as
shown in the figure.

The sphere will roll without slipping when
.
Impulse,
Angular impulse about centre,


The sphere will roll without slipping with a constant velocity and no loss of energy when

- (i)
Torque due to applied force about centre of mass,

If
, sphere will have only translational motion.
It would lose energy by friction.
B-(iv)
If
ve sphere will spin clockwise.
-(ii)
Again, the sphere will spin anticlockwise, when
is negative, i.e.,
.
-(iii)
