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.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

Recurrence is the quantity of events of a rehashing occasion for every unit of time. It is likewise once in a while alluded to as worldly recurrence to underline the differentiation to spatial recurrence, and customary recurrence to underscore the difference to rakish recurrence. Rotating current (ac) recurrence is the quantity of cycles each second in an air conditioner sine wave. Recurrence is the rate at which current heads in a different path each second. It is estimated in hertz (Hz), a global unit of measure where 1 hertz is equivalent to 1 cycle each second. It is likewise infrequently alluded to as transient recurrence to stress the difference to spatial recurrence, and normal recurrence to accentuate the differentiation to precise recurrence. Recurrence is estimated in hertz (Hz) which is equivalent to one occasion each second.

PLZ EXPLAIN IM SO CONFUSED AND THIS IS DUE TONIGHT. I WILL GIVE 50 POINTS!
bezimeni [28]

When you first pull back on the pendulum, and when you pull it back really high the Potential Energy is high and the Kinetic Energy is low, But when up let go, and it gets right around the middle, that's when the Potential energy transfers to Kinetic, at that point the kinetic Energy is high and the potential Energy is low. But when it comes back up at the end. The same thing will happen, the Potential Energy is high, and the Kinetic Energy is low. Through all of that the Mechanical Energy stays the same. 

I hope this helps. :)

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
