A thin-walled pipe rolls along the floor. What is the ratio of its translational kinetic energy to its rotational kinetic energy about the central axis parallel to its length?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Ratio of translational kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy is 1.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

Axis of rotation is passing through the center about its length.

02

Determining the concept

Use formulas for kinetic energy for translation and rotational motion then take their ratio.

Formulae are as follow:

KEtrans=0.5×m×v2KErot=0.5×I×Ӭ2

03

Determining the ratio of translational kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy 

Translational kinetic energy of pipe is given by following formula:

KEtrans=0.5×m×v2

To find rotational kinetic energy about center parallel to length, inertia about center of pipe is needed which is given as follow:

I=mr2

And, rotational kinetic energy is given as,

KErot=0.5×I×Ӭ2KErot=0.5×0.5mr2×w2KErot=0.5mv2

So, ratio is given as,

KEtransKErot=0.5mv20.5mv2

So,

KEtransKErot=1

Hence,ratio of translational kinetic energy to rotational kinetic energy is 1.

Therefore, using the formula for the rotational and translational kinetic energy, the ratio of these quantities can be found.

Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 20 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters?

An astronomical unit (AU) is equal to the average distance from Earth to the Sun, about 92.9×106mi. A parsec (pc) is the distance at which a length of 1 AU would subtend an angle of exactly 1 second of arc (Fig. 1-8). A light-year (ly) is the distance that light, traveling through a vacuum with a speed of 186000mi/s, would cover in 1.0 year . Express the Earth – Sun distance in (a) parsecs and (b) light-years.
