Answer

The rotational kinetic energy is $~~0.03125~J$

Work Step by Step

We can find the energy in the system: $E = \frac{1}{2}kx^2$ $E = \frac{1}{2}(3.00~N/m)(0.250~m)^2$ $E = 0.09375~J$ We can find an expression for the total kinetic energy at the equilibrium position: $K = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I \omega^2$ $K = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2+(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{1}{2}MR^2) (\frac{v}{R})^2$ $K = \frac{1}{2}Mv^2+\frac{1}{4}Mv^2$ $K = \frac{3}{4}Mv^2$ Note that the ratio of the kinetic energy that is rotational kinetic energy is $\frac{1}{3}$ We can find the rotational kinetic energy: $K_{rot} = (\frac{1}{3})(0.09375~J)$ $K_{rot} = 0.03125~J$ The rotational kinetic energy is $~~0.03125~J$
