A disk with m=4.4 kg and radius 14.1 cm rolls a distance 4.3 m down a ramp that is inclined by an angle 26.9° with respect to the horizontal. At the bottom of the ramp, what is its translational kinetic energy?
Consider the incline
=====================
Moment of inertia of disk,
Angular velocity,
======================
When the disk reaches the bottom of the ramp, it's initial potential energy is converted into translational kinetic energy and rotational kinetic energy.
==================
Translational kinetic energy,
