show answer No Attempt 50% Part (b) Now consider a disk of mass 8 kg with radius 0.55 m. Disk rotates around itself once every 0.35 sec. What is the rotational energy of this disk?

Answer :

Answer:

[tex]KE=194.9750\ J[/tex]

Explanation:

Given:

mass of disk, [tex]m=8\ kg[/tex]

radius of the disk, [tex]r=0.55\ m[/tex]

time taken by the disk to complete on rotation, [tex]T=0.35\ s[/tex]

We know that rotational kinetic energy is given as:

[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2}\times I.\omega^2[/tex] ............................(1)

Now the angular speed of the disk:

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{0.35}[/tex]

[tex]\omega=17.952\ rad.s^{-1}[/tex]

The moment of inertia of a disk is given as:

[tex]I=\frac{1}{2} m.r^2[/tex]

[tex]I=0.5\times 8\times 0.55^2[/tex]

[tex]I=1.21\ kg.m^2[/tex]

Now using eq. (1):

[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2} \times 1.21\times 17.952^2[/tex]

[tex]KE=194.9750\ J[/tex]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of disc, m = 8 kg

radius of disc, r = 0.55 m

Time period, t = 0.35 s

Angular velocity, ω = 2π/T

ω = 2 x 3.14 / 0.35 = 17.94 rad/s

moment of inertia of the disc, I = 0.5 mr²

I = 0.5 x 8 x 0.55 x 0.55 = 1.21 kgm²

The rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = 0.5 x I x ω²

K = 0.5 x 1.21 x 17.94 x 17.94 = 194.72 J
