Given the potential energy of 100 J, the height of the hill is 0.128 m (12.8 cm)

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by:

$U=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the heigth of the object, relative to the ground

In this problem, we have

U = 100 J is the potential energy of the person

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

m = 80 kg is the mass of the person

Solving for h, we find at what height the person is:

$h=\frac{U}{mg}=\frac{100}{(80)(9.8)}=0.128 m = 12.8 cm$

Rotational kinetic energy = 0.099 J

Translational kinetic energy = 200 J

The moment of inertia of a solid sphere is $I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$ .

Explanation:

Rotational kinetic energy is given by

$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

For a solid sphere,

$I = \frac{2}{5}mr^2$

where m is its mass and r is its radius.

From the question,

ω = 49 rad/s

m = 0.15 kg

r = 3.7 cm = 0.037 m

$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{2}{5} mr^2\omega^2 = \frac{1}{5} mr^2\omega^2$

$\text{RKE} = \frac{1}{5} (0.15\ \text{kg})(0.037\ \text{m})^2(49\ \text{rad/s})^2 = 0.099\text{ J}$

Translational kinetic energy is given by

$\text{TKE} = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

where v is the linear speed.

$\text{TKE} = \frac{1}{2} (0.15\ \text{kg})(52\ \text{m/s})^2 = 200\text{ J}$
