a 29.0 kg wheel, essentially a thin hoop with radius 1.40 m, is rotating at 206 rev/min. it must be brought to a stop in 20.0 s.(A) How much work must be done to stop it?(B) What is the required average power?

Respuesta :

A) Work that must be done to stop it is 1.3 * 10⁴J   ; B) Required average power = - 650 W.

What is rotational energy?

Rotational energy is also known as angular kinetic energy and is defined as the kinetic energy due to the rotation of any object and is also part of the total kinetic energy.

Initial rotational energy kinetic energy is ;

Ki = 1/2 * I * ω²

= 1/2 *M*R²ω²

ω= (206rev/min) * (2πrad/1rev) * (1min/60s)

= 21.57 rad/sec

Ki= 1/2 *M*R²ω²

Given mass is 29 kg, and radius is 1.4m

= 1/2 * 29 * 1.4² * 21.57²

Ki = 1.3 * 10⁴ J

As hoop is brought to stop. Kf = 0 J

Required average power;

P = (Kf - Ki)/t

Given t = 20s

P= (0 - 1.3 * 10⁴)/20

Average power = - 650 W
