A hollow sphere of radius 0.170 m, with rotational inertia I = 0.0150 kg
Part A)
I for a hollow sphere is (2/3)mr2
KEr = .5Iw2 and w = v/r.
Thus KEr = .5(2/3)(mr2v2/r2) which simplifies to (1/3)mv2
KEt = (1/2)mv2
Total KE = (1/2 + 1/3)mv2 = (5/6)mv2
The rotational portion is (1/3)/(5/6)
That is 2/5 of the KE (which is .40 or 40%)
Part B)
At the initial position
KE = (5/6)mv2
To find m, apply I = (2/3)mr2
(.015) = (2/3)(m)(.17)2
m = .779 kg
6.9 = (5/6)(.779)(v2)
v = 3.26 m/s
Part C)
Total KE = 6.9 - mgh
There are two ways to interpret this. Is the height .710 m or is the .710 the distance along the incline meaning that the height is .71(sin 38) = .437 m. I will give you both answers...
KE = 6.9 - (.779)(9.8)(.71) = 1.48 J or...
KE = 6.9 - (.779)(9.8)(.71)(sin 38) = 3.56 J
Part D)
Also two possible answers depending on what is meant by the .71 m. Is that straight up, or along the incline.
The two answers are...
1.48 = (5/6)(.779)v2
v = 1.51 m/s or...
3.56 = (5/6)(.779)v2
v = 2.34 m/s
