What is the moment of inertia of an object that rolls without slipping down a 3.5-m- high incline starting from rest, and has a

Daniel [21]

Answer:

I = 0.287 MR²

Explanation:

given,

height of the object = 3.5 m

initial velocity = 0 m/s

final velocity = 7.3 m/s

moment of inertia = ?

Using total conservation of mechanical energy

change in potential energy will be equal to change in KE (rotational) and KE(transnational)

PE = KE(transnational) + KE (rotational)

$mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

v = r ω

$mgh = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{Iv^2}{r^2}$

$I = \dfrac{m(2gh - v^2)r^2}{v^2}$

$I = \dfrac{mr^2(2\times 9.8 \times 3.5 - 7.3^2)}{7.3^2}$

$I =mr^2(0.287)$

I = 0.287 MR²

If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important

atroni [7]

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.
