Explanation / Answer

decrease in potential energy = increase in kineticenergy

2 * 9.8 * 2.5   = (1/2) * 2 *v2 + (1/2) * 4 * v2 + (1/2) I 2   of pulley

49 =   v2 + 2v2   + (1/2) [ (1/2) m r2 ] (v / r)2

49 = 3v2    +    (1/4) * 1kg *v2

49 = 3.25 v2

v = 3.883 m/s   is the speed

.the angular velocity of the pulley is

. = v / r = 3.883 /0.13 = 29.86 rad/s
