A circular wooden loop of mass and radius rests flat on a horizontal frictionless surface. A bullet, also of mass and moving with a velocity strikes the loop and gets embedded in it. The thickness of the loop is much smaller than The angular velocity with which the system rotates just after the bullet strikes the loop is

A solid sphere rolls on an inclined plane without slipping. The ratio of rotational energy and total energy is
