Answer

(a) $1.19J$ (b) $1.19J$ (c) $2.38J$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that translational kinetic energy is given as $K.E_t=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K.E_t=\frac{1}{2}(1.2Kg)(1.41m/s)^2$ $K.E_t=1.19J$ (b) Rotational kinetic energy is given as $K.E_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K.E_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}(mr^2)\omega^2$ $K.E_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}m(\omega r)^2$ $K.E_{rot}=\frac{1}{2}(1.2Kg)(1.41m/s)^2$ $K.E_{rot}=1.19J$ (c) The total kinetic energy is given as $K.E_{total}=K.E_t+K.E_{rot}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K.E_{total}=2.38J$
