A solid sphere of radius R, a solid cylinder of radius R, and a hollow cylinder...

A solid sphere of radius R, a solid cylinder of radius R, and a hollow cylinder of radius R all have the same mass, and all three are rotating with the same angular velocity. The sphere is rotating around an axis through its center, and each cylinder is rotating around its symmetry axis. Which one has the greatest rotational kinetic energy?

both cylinders have the same rotational kinetic energy

the solid cylinder

the solid sphere

they all have the same rotational kinetic energy

the hollow cylinder

Solutions

Expert Solution

for hollow cylinder I =MR²

for solid cylinder I. =1/2(MR)

for sphere I=2/5(MR²)

rotational k.e. directly proportional to I

hence hollow cylinder has highest k.e.

A wheeled cart (frictionless), a solid cylinder of radius r, a solid sphere of radius r, and a hollow cylinder of radius r are all allowed to roll down an incline. Derive a general relationship for the linear acceleration of each object depending on the angle of the ramp and the rotational inertia. You may assume that the frictional force is small enough that it is only causing rotation in each case.
