Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A solid cylinder with a moment of inertia of 8 kgΒ·mΒ² is rotating at an angular velocity of 5 rad/s. If it is slowed down to 2 rad/s, how much rotational kinetic energy is lost in this process?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate initial and final energies to find the difference.

Question 2

If a wheel has an angular velocity of 12 rad/s and you increase the angular velocity to 20 rad/s while keeping the moment of inertia constant, how does the rotational kinetic energy change?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the formula for rotational kinetic energy to calculate each state and find the difference.
