1. What is the maximum kinetic energy that the inertia device (wheel) used is given by the hanging mass (just before the mass reaches the floor). Compare this value to the gravitational energy that the hanging mass has just before you release it. Show all work.

Step 1
This can be calculated using the formula: PE = mgh where m is the mass of the hanging object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height from which the object is released. Let's assume that the height is h = 1 meter and the mass is m = Show more…

The pulley in the figure below has radius 0.160 m and moment of inertia 0.560 kg.m². The rope does not slip on the pulley rim. Use energy methods to calculate the speed of the 4.00-kg block just before it strikes the floor.

The pulley in (Figure 1) has radius 0.160 m and moment of inertia 0.380 kg?m2. The rope does not slip on the pulley rim. Use energy methods to calculate the speed of the 4.00 kg block just before it strikes the floor.

1c i) If the acceleration of the hanging mass is a, determine an equation for the tension in terms of mass m, acceleration a, and fundamental constants. 1c ii) Calculate the rotational inertia of the pulley in terms of m, R, a, and fundamental constants. Hints: T = la, T = Fr. 1d) The value of acceleration found in (b iii), along with numerical values for the given quantities and your answer to (c ii), can be used to determine the rotational inertia of the pulley. The pulley is removed from its support, and its rotational inertia is found to be greater than this value. Give one explanation for this discrepancy.
