Question

1. A truck is travelling at a speed of 60 km/h such that its wheels are rolling perfectly without slippage. What is the speed, in m/s, of a point on top of the wheel?

zero

11.9 m/s

23.6 m/s

33.3 m/s

2. The rotational kinetic energy of a hollow sphere of radius 40 cm and mass 1 kg is 0.48 J. With what angular speed is it rotating?

3. A 4 m long, thin, cylindrical rod of mass 3 kg is rotating with a rotational velocity of 6 rad/s about an axis at one of its ends and perpendicular to its central axis. What is its angular momentum?

96 kg m2/s

102 kg m2/s

115 kg m2/s

134 kg m2/s

zero

11.9 m/s

23.6 m/s

33.3 m/s

Explanation / Answer

1] Speed at top = v+wr = 2v = 2*60*5/18 m/s = 33.3 m/s answer

2] We know KE = 0.5 i w^2

0.48 = 0.5*2/3*1*0.4^2 w^2

w = sqrt(0.48/(0.5*2/3*1*0.4^2)) = 3 rad/s answer

3] Angular momentum = iw = 3*4^2/3*6 = 96 kgm/s answer
