The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understand rolling motion energy.
For a rolling solid disc: \[ K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 \] For solid disc: \[ I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2, \quad v = \omega r \]

Step 2: Substitute rotational energy.

\[ K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{1}{2}mr^2 \cdot \frac{v^2}{r^2} \] \[ K = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{4}mv^2 \] \[ K = \frac{3}{4}mv^2 \]

Step 3: Substitute values.

\[ K = \frac{3}{4} \times 100 \times (0.2)^2 \] \[ K = \frac{3}{4} \times 100 \times 0.04 \] \[ K = \frac{3}{4} \times 4 \] \[ K = 3 \, \text{J} \]

Step 4: Work done to stop the disc.

Work required = initial kinetic energy: \[ W = 3 \, \text{J} \]

Step 5: Final conclusion.

Thus, absolute work done to stop the rolling disc is: \[ \boxed{3 \, \text{J}} \]
