power ratings basically just compare with how many watts are used, like a tackle in football compares to a car engine

For historical reasons, the horsepower is occasionally used to describe the power delivered by a machine. One horsepower is equivalent to approximately 750 Watts. ... Thus, the power of a machine is the work/time ratio for that particular machine. A car engine is an example of a machine that is given a power rating.

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

Can anybody help me solve this problem? Thank you so much!

ser-zykov [4K]

Please ignore my comment -- mass is not needed, here is how to solve it. pls do the math

at bottom box has only kinetic energy
ke = (1/2)mv^2
v = initial velocity
moving up until rest work done = Fs
F = kinetic fiction force = uN = umg x cos(a)
s = distance travel = h/sin(a)
h = height at top
a = slope angle
u = kinetic fiction
work = Fs = umgh x cot(a)
ke = work (use all ke to do work)
(1/2)mv^2 = umgh x cot(a)
u = (1/2)v^2 x tan (a) / gh
