The Inertia is 22. 488 kg. m² and the speed just before it hits the ground is 6. 4 m/s
<h3>How to determine the inertia</h3>
Using the formula:
I = 1/2 M₁R₁² + 1/2 M₂R₂²
Where I = Inertia
I = 1/2 * 0.810* (2. 60)² + 1/2 * 1. 58 * (5)²
I = 1/2 * 5. 476 + 1/2 * 39. 5
I = 2. 738 + 19. 75
I = 22. 488 kg. m²
To determine the block's speed, use the formula
v =
v =
v =
v = 6. 4 m/s
Therefore, the Inertia is 22. 488 kg. m² and the speed just before it hits the ground is 6. 4 m/s
