Rotational KE Two types of kinetic energy: Translational: Ekin= 1/2mv2 Rotational: Ek rot = 1/2I 2 Of course a rolling object has both Work: W = Fs W =
Example: A 23.7 kg 45 cm radius cylinder is rolling at 13.5 m/s at the bottom of a hill. What is its translational kinetic energy? What is its rotational kinetic energy? What is the total kinetic energy? What was the height of the hill?
Whiteboards: Rotational KE 1-6
What is the rotational kinetic energy of an object with an angular velocity of 12.0 rad/s, and a moment of inertia of 56.0 kgm2? 4.0 x 103 J
What must be the angular velocity of a flywheel that is a 22.4 kg, 54 cm radius cylinder to store 10,000. J of energy? 78 rad/s
What is the total kinetic energy of a 2.5 cm diameter 405 g sphere rolling at 3.5 m/s? 3.5 J
What work do you do if you exert 14.0 mN of torque through 3.10 rotations? solution 273 J
If you exert 14.0 mN of torque through 3.10 rotations on a potter s wheel that is a 26.0 kg, 68.0cm diameter uniform cylinder, what will be the final angular velocity? solution 19.1 rad/s
A tangential friction force of 2.30 N slows down a 26.0 kg 68.0 cm diameter potter s wheel. (That is a uniform cylinder) If it was originally going at 71.0 RPM, in how many rotations will it stop? solution 8.45 rot
