A point on a rotating wheel (thin loop) having a constant angular velocityy of 300 rev/min, the wheel has a radius of 1.5m and a mass of 30kg. (I = mr^2) a.) Determine the linear regression
b.) At this given angular velocity, what is the rotational kinetic energy?

Centripetal Acceleration 18.75 m/s^2, Rotational Kinetic Energy 843.75 J

Explanation:

a Linear acceleration (we cant find tangential acceleration with the givens so we will find centripetal)

a= ω^2*r

ω= 300rev/min

convert into rev/s

300/60= 5rev/s

a= 18.75m/s^2

b) use Krot= 1/2 Iω^2

plug in gives

1/2(30*2.25)(25)= 843.75 J

i would think form in reponse to tensional forces
