Two wheels having the same radius and mass rotate at the same angular velocity. One wheel is made with spokes so nearly all the

mass is at the rim. The other is a solid disk. How do their rotational kinetic energies compare?
a. The wheel with spokes has higher KE, but not twice as high.
b. The solid wheel has higher KE, but not twice as high.
c. The wheel with spokes has about twice the KE.
d. The solid wheel has about twice the KE.
e. They are nearly the same.

Answer:

C. The wheel with spokes has about twice the KE.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass , radius and the angular speed for both the wheels are same.

radius = r

Mass = m

Angular speed = ω

The angular kinetic energy KE given as

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

I=Moment of inertia for wheels

Wheel made of spokes

I₁ = m r²

Wheel like a disk

I₂ = 0.5 m r²

Now by comparing kinetic energy

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=\dfrac{mr^2}{0.5mr^2}

\dfrac{KE_1}{KE_2}=2

KE₁= 2 KE₂

Therefore answer is C.

An object of mass 30 kg is in free fall in a vacuum where there is no air resistance. Determine the acceleration of the object.
velikii [3]

Answer:

In free fall, mass is not relevant and there's no air resistance, so the acceleration the object is experimenting will be equal to the gravity exerted. If the object is falling on our planet, the value of gravity is approximately 9.81ms2 .

When the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the KE is______ kg m2/s2.
DiKsa [7]
Answers are:
(1) KE = 1 kg m^2/s^2
(2) KE = 2 kg m^2/s^2
(3) KE = 3 kg m^2/s^2
(4) KE = 4 kg m^2/s^2


Explanation:

(1) Given mass = 0.125 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.125 * (16)
KE = 1 kg m^2/s^2

(2) Given mass = 0.250 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.250 * (16)
KE = 2 kg m^2/s^2

(3) Given mass = 0.375 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.375 * (16)
KE = 3 kg m^2/s^2

(4) Given mass = 0.500 kg
speed = 4 m/s

Since Kinetic energy = (1/2)*m*(v^2)

Plug in the values:
Hence:
KE = (1/2) * 0.5 * (16)
KE = 4 kg m^2/s^2
