A mass of 5 kg is moving along a circular path of radius 1 m. If the mas moves with 300 rev/min, its kinetic energy would be
1. 250π2 J
2. 100π2 J
3. 5π2 J
4. 0
(a) Hint: Using angular velocity, we can find the linear speed.
Step 1: Find the angular speed of the mass.
Given,mass =m=5kg
Radius =1m=R
Revolution per min. ω = 300rev/min
= (300×2π)rad/min
= (300×2×3.14)rad/60s
= 300×2×3.1460rad/s = 10πrad/s
Step 2: Find the kinetic energy of the mass.
⇒ linear speed = v = ωR = (300 × 2π60)(1) = 10 πm/sKE = 12mv2 = 12×5×(10 π)2 = 100 π2×5×12 = 250 π2J
