Answer:

The translational kinetic energy is 225 J

The rotational kinetic energy is 225 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the wheel, m = 2-kg

linear speed of the wheel, v = 15 m/s

Transnational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂MV²

where;

M is mass of the moving object

V is the velocity of the object

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Rotational kinetic energy is calculated as;

E = ¹/₂Iω²

where;

I is moment of inertia

ω is angular velocity

$E = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*(\frac{v}{r})^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} *mr^2*\frac{v^2}{r^2} \\\\E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

E = ¹/₂ x 2 x (15)²

E = 225 J

Thus, the translational kinetic energy is equal to rotational kinetic energy

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of block $m=5.7\ kg$

at $t=0 s$

displacement is $x=-0.7\ m$

velocity $v=-0.8\ m/s$

acceleration $a=2.7\ m/s^2$

suppose $x=A\cos (\omega t+\phi )$ is the general equation of SHM

where A=amplitude

$\omega$ =natural frequency of oscillation

therefore velocity and acceleration is given by

$v=-A\omega \sin (\omega t+\phi )$

$a=A\omega ^2\cos (\omega t+\phi )$

for t=0

$-0.7=A\cos (\phi )---1$

$v=-0.8=-A\omega \sin(\phi)---2$

$a=2.7=-A\omega ^2\cos(\phi )----3$

divide 1 and 3 we get

$\omega ^2=\frac{27}{7}$

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{27}{7}}$

Now square and 1 and 2 we get

$(0.7)^2+(\frac{0.8}{\omega })^2=A^2$

$A^2=0.49+0.166$

$A=0.81\ m$

To solve this problem we will use the mathematical definition of the light years in metric terms, from there, through the kinematic equations of motion we will find the distance traveled as a function of the speed in proportion to the elapsed time. Therefore we have to
