In: Physics
Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2
Mass of the cylinder = M = 852.9 kg
Radius of the cylinder = R = 1 m
Moment of inertia of the cylinder = I
Height of the hill = H = 82.1 m
Velocity of the cylinder at the bottom of the hill = V
Angular speed of the cylinder at the bottom of the hill = = V/R
Rotational kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom of the hill = KER
Translational kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom of the hill = KET
Total kinetic energy of the cylinder at the bottom of the hill = KE
Ratio of the rotational kinetic energy and the total kinetic energy = f
f = 1/3
Fraction of the total kinetic energy of the cylinder invested in rotational kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill = 1/3
