Title: Rotational Kinetic Energy
1Rotational Kinetic Energy
2KE ½ mv2 translational KE
rotating body also has rotational KE
KEtrans for CM
3KErot ½ I ?2
I is rotational inertia about the CM
KEtot ½ mv2cm ½ Icm ?2
4Rolling down an incline
cylinder rolling without slipping
static friction no work lost to friction
v v(4/3)gh
5Rolling down an incline
sphere rolling without slipping
v v(10/7) gh
6speed depends on coefficient for I (shape)
independent of mass R
less speed
larger coefficient
7 objects rolling down an incline
hoop cylinder small sphere large sphere
8If no rotation (just sliding) max speed ? (assume
frictionless)
m
h
9What is minimum value of h if marble is to reach
highest point of the loop without leaving the
track?
