Question

BIO Gymnastics.? We can roughly model a gymnastic tumbler as a uniform solid cylinder of mass 75 kg and diameter 1.0 m. If this tumbler rolls forward at 0.50 rev/s, (a) how much total kinetic energy does he have, and (b) what percent of his total kinetic energy is rotational?

Solution

Solution 18E Step 1: The total kinetic energy can be given as sum of the rotational kinetic energy and translational kinetic energy. 2 Rotational kinetic energy K =r1/2Iw Where I moment of inertia along axis of rotation w angular velocity I = 1/2mR 2 Where R radius of cylinder m mass of cylinder Now since it completes 0.50 rev/sec Which means converts 0.50 rev/sec 2 radian/sec * w = 1 pi rad/sec *
