-- It takes the brick 8.9 seconds to reach the ground.
-- At the instant of the "splat", it's falling at 89 m/s.
-- The mass doesn't matter. If not for air resistance, every object
would fall at the same rate. The answer is the same for a feather,
a rubber chicken, a brick, or a school bus.
Answer:
I = 8.75 kg m
Explanation:
This is a rotational movement exercise, let's start with kinetic energy
K = ½ I w²
They tell us that K = 330 J, let's find the angular velocity with kinematics
w² = w₀² + 2 α θ
as part of rest w₀ = 0
w = √ 2α θ
let's reduce the revolutions to the SI system
θ = 30.0 rev (2π rad / 1 rev) = 60π rad
let's calculate the angular velocity
w = √(2 0.200 60π)
w = 8.683 rad / s
we clear from the first equation
I = 2K / w²
let's calculate
I = 2 330 / 8,683²
I = 8.75 kg m
