Statement I: The total kinetic energy of a rolling solid sphere is the sum of translational and rotational kinetic energies.
Statement II: For all solid bodies, total kinetic energy is always twice translational kinetic energy.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Kinetic energy of a rolling sphere 
Since, 
is different for different solid bodies. Therefore different solid bodies have different kinetic energy.
