Energy Dissipation of a Rolling Disk
A uniform disk of mass M and radius R is spinning with an initial angular velocity of about its central axis, while its center of mass is at rest. The disk is then placed on a rough horizontal surface, where it slips until it begins to roll without slipping. What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is dissipated by friction?
A
1/3
B
2/3
C
1/2
D
1/4
