Answer:

The work done by the shopping cart is 180 J

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a shopping cart is 24 kg

Initial speed of cart is 1 m/s

Final speed of a cart is 4 m/s

It is required to find the work done by the shopping cart. The work done by an object is also equal to the change in its kinetic energy as per work -energy theorem. It means,

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

m = 24 kg

u = 1 m/s and v = 4 m/s

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 24\times (4^2-1^2)\\\\W=180\ J$

So, the work done by the shopping cart is 180 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

We have a mass $m$ revolving around an axis with an angular speed $\omega$ , the distance from the axis is $r$ . We are given:

$\omega = 10 [rad/s]\\r=0.5 [m]\\m=13[Kg]$

and also the formula which states that the kinetic rotational energy of a body is:

$K =\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ .

Now we use the kinetic energy formula

$K =\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where $v$ is the tangential velocity of the particle. Tangential velocity is related to angular velocity by:

$v=\omega r$

After replacing in the previous equation we get:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$

now we have the following:

$K =\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2 =\frac{1}{2}Iw^2$

therefore:

$mr^2=I$

then the moment of inertia will be:

$I = 13*(0.5)^2=3.25 [Kg*m^2]$
