A solid homogeneous sphere is moving on a rough horizontal surface, partly rolling and partly sliding. During this kind of motion of this sphere

  • Option 1)

    total kinetic energy is conserved

  • Option 2)

    angular momentum of the sphere about the point of contact with the plane is conserved

  • Option 3)

    only the rotational kinetic energy about the centre of mass is conserved.

  • Option 4)

    angular momentum about the centre of mass is conserved.

As we discussedin 

Law of conservation of angular moment -

\vec{\tau }= \frac{\vec{dL}}

- wherein

If net torque is zero

i.e. \frac{\vec{dL}}= 0

\vec{L}= constant

angular momentum is conserved only when external torque is zero .

 

Angular momintum absent the pont of contact with the plane remains conseved.
