Question

What is the total kinetic energy of a 0.15 kg hockey puck sliding at 0.5 m/s and rotating about its center at 8.4 rad/s

Answer 1

Answer:

$K=0.023J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=0.15$

Velocity $v=0.5m/s$

Angular Velocity $\omega=8.4rad/s$

Generally the equation for Kinetic Energy is mathematically given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}M(v^2+\frac{1}{2}R^2\omega^2)$

$K=\frac{1}{2}0.15(0.5^2+\frac{1}{2}(0.038)^2.(8.4rad/s^2))$

$K=0.023J$
