A 15 kg uniform disk of radius R = 0.25 m has a string wrapped around it, and a m = 3.4 kg weight is hanging on the string. The system of the weight and disk is released from rest. 1)When the 3.4 kg weight is moving with a speed of 1.1 m/s, what is the kinetic energy of the entire system? K.E. =

Answer :

Answer:

5.45 J

Explanation:

When the 3.4 kg weight is moving with a speed of 1.1 m/s, what is the kinetic energy of the entire system?

RKE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2[/tex]

where;

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2} mr^2[/tex]

[tex]I = \frac{1}{2}*15*0.25^2[/tex]

[tex]I = 0.46875 kg.m^2[/tex]

[tex]\omega = \frac{1.0}{0.25}[/tex]

[tex]\omega = 4 rad/s[/tex]

RKE = [tex]\frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2} *0.46875*4^2[/tex]

= 3.75 J

LKE = [tex]\frac{1}{2} mv^2[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2} *3.4*1.0^2[/tex]

= 1. 7 J

K.E = RKE + LKE

K. E = ( 3.75 + 1.7 ) J

K . E = 5.45 J

Answer:

The answer is 6.6Joules

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the entire system = the rotational kinetic energy of the disk + the kinetic energy of the body.

That is, K.E = RKE + BKE

The formula of a rotational kinetic energy is given as:

RKE = [tex]1/2Iw^{2}[/tex]-----------------------1

Where:

   RKE = Rotational Kinetic energy,

    I =     Inertia of the disk

     w = angular velocity

for inertia the formula is given as , I =[tex]mr^{2}[/tex]----------------2

where:

m = mass and r is the radius

Substituting the values into equation 2, we have

I = 1/2[tex]mr^{2}[/tex]

 =1/2* 15 * 0.25^2

= 1/2 *15 * 0.0625

= 0.46875[tex]kgm^{2}[/tex]

Also for w which is angular velocity, we have

w = v/r-----------------------------------------------3

Where v is the velocity and r is the radius.

Substituting the values into equation 3, we have

w = v/r

  = 1.1/0.25

  = 4.4rads

Now putting the calculated values into the main equation 1, we have

RKE = [tex]1/2Iw^{2}[/tex]

        = 1/2 * 0.9375 * 4.4^2

        = 1/2 * 0.46875 * 19.36

        = 1/2 * 9.075

        = 4.5375J

Calculating the kinetic energy of the body BKE, we have:

BKE = 1/2mv^2

          1/2 * 3.4 * 1.1^2

       = 1/2 * 3.4 * 1.21

       = 1/2 * 4.114

      = 2.057 J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the entire system = RKE + BKE  = 4.5375 + 2.057  = 6.59J = 6.6J approximately
