The center of mass of a pitched baseball or radius 2.42 cm moves at 23.3 m/s. The ball spins about an axis through its center of

mass with an angular speed of 158 rad/s. Calculate the ratio of the rotational energy to the translational kinetic energy. Treat the ball as a uniform sphere.

To solve the problem, it will be necessary to define the rotational and translational kinetic energy in order to determine the relationship between the two. Rotational energy is defined as,

KE_{Rotational} = \frac{1}{2} I\omega^2

Here,

I = Moment of Inertia

\omega = Angular velocity

Now the translational energy will be,

KE_{Translational} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Here,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

Therefore the relation between them will be,

\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} I\omega^2 }{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 }

Applying the moment of inertia of a sphere we have,

\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{\frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5}mr^2)\omega^2 }{\frac{1}{2} mv^2 }

\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{r^2\omega^2}{v^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} = \frac{2}{5} \frac{(2.42*10^{-2})^2(158)^2}{23.3^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational} }{KE_{Translational}} =  0.01077

Therefore the ratio will be 0.01077

What quantity is the rate of change of velocity? Displacement Acceleration Final velocity
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Acceleration

Explanation:

The quantity of the rate of change of velocity is termed the acceleration of the body.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

  A  = \frac{v - u}{t}  

A is the acceleration

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken
