Answer:
a). 675J
b). 337.5J
c). 1012.5J
Explanation:
M = 6.0kg
V = 15.0m/s
a). Translational energy
E = ½ *mv²
E = ½ * 6 * 15²
E = 675J
b). Rotational kinetic energy K.E(rot) = Iw²
But moment of inertia of a cylinder (I) = ½Mr²
I = ½mr²
V = wr, r = v / w
K.E(rot) = ¼ mv²
K.E(rot) = ¼* 6 * 15²
K.E(rot) = 337.5J
Total energy of the system = K.E(rot) + Translational energy = 337.5 + 675
T.E = 1012.5J
