We can roughly model a gymnastic tumbler as a uniform solid cylinder of mass 75kgand diameter 1.0m. If this tumbler rolls forward at 0.50rev/s, (a) how much total kinetic energy does he have, and (b) what percent of his total kinetic energy is rotational?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The total kinetic energy is, 140J.

(b) The percent of the rotational kinetic energy is,33%.

Step by step solution

01

To mention the given data

We have

Mass of cylinderm=75kg.

Diameter of cylinder D=1.0m.

Radius of cylinderR=D/2=0.50m.

Angular acceleration Ó¬=0.50rev/s.

02

(a)To find the total kinetic energy of tumbler

We have the total kinetic energy which is the sum of kinetic energy of translation of CM and the rotational kinetic energy, given by,

Ktot=Ktr+Krot   ⋯⋯A, where,

Ktr=12mv2  ⋯⋯1Krot=12IӬ2⋯⋯2

The velocity of center of mass can be expressed as:

v=RÓ¬

Thus, equation (1) becomes,

Ktr=12mR2Ӭ2  ⋯⋯3.

Now, the moment of inertia of the cylinder about the axis passing through its center is,

I=12mR2.

Thus, equation (2) becomes,

Krot=1212mR2Ӭ2=14mR2Ӭ2   ⋯⋯4.

Putting (3) and ( 4 ) in equation A, we get,

Ktot=12mR2Ӭ2+14mR2Ӭ2⇒Ktot=34mR2Ӭ2

Thus, substituting the values in above equation, we get,

Ktot=34750.520.50·2π2Ktot=140 J

since1rev=2Ï€rad.

Hence, the total kinetic energy is, 140J.

03

(b)To find the percent of total kinetic energy that is rotational

The ratio of rotational to total kinetic energy is,

KrotKtot=14mR2Ӭ2  34mR2Ӭ2⇒KrotKtot=13

Hence, the percent of the rotational kinetic energy is,33%.
