$A$ ball is rolling without slipping. The radius of gyration of the ball about an axis passing through its center of mass is $K$. If the radius of the ball is $R$,what fraction of the total energy is rotational kinetic energy?

  • A
    $K^2 / R^2$
  • B
    $K^2 / (K^2 + R^2)$
  • C
    $R^2 / (K^2 + R^2)$
  • D
    $(K^2 + R^2) / R^2$
