<span>We need to calculate the number of seconds in one year. time = (365 days) (24 hours/day) (3600 seconds/hour) time = 31536000 seconds We can calculate the distance that light travels in this many seconds. distance = speed x time distance = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (31536000 seconds) distance = 9.46 x 10^{15} meters A light year is 9.46 x 10^{15} meters</span>

A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.
NemiM [27]

Answer:

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, \omega=2.8\ rad/s

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2

K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2

K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2
