A bowling ball that has a radius of 11.0 cm and a mass of 5.00 kg rolls without slipping on a level lane at 2.80 rad/s.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bowling ball, m = 5 kg

Radius of the ball, r = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Angular velocity with which the ball rolls, $\omega=2.8\ rad/s$

To find,

The ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball.

Solution,

The translational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}m(r\omega)^2$

$K_t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times (0.11\times 2.8)^2$

The rotational kinetic energy of the ball is :

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}I \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}mr^2\times \omega^2$

$K_r=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{2}{5}\times 5\times (0.11)^2\times (2.8)^2$

Ratio of translational to the rotational kinetic energy as :

$\dfrac{K_t}{K_r}=\dfrac{5}{2}$

So, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy of the bowling ball is 5:2

A 4.1 object is lifted to a height of 4.5m above the surface of Earth.What is the potential energy of the object due to gravity?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

P = 180.81 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a object, m = 4.1 kg

It is lifted to a height of 4.5 m

We need to find the potential energy of the object due to gravity. It is given by the formula as follows :

P = mgh Where g is acceleration due to gravity

P = 4.1 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 4.5 m

P = 180.81 J

Hence, the potential energy is 180.81 J.
