calculate kinetic energy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

including translational and rotstional

sam (.sam.):

Do we have initials and final position of the ball?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know the formula it is \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } Mv _{CM}^2+ \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } I w^2\]

sam (.sam.):

Yep

sam (.sam.):

Substitute it in and you're done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think M is mass v^2 idk I is moment of inertia and w is idk

sam (.sam.):

Translational KE is what we used when we're not doing rotations \[KE_T=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\] Rotational KE is \[KE_R=\frac{1}{2}I \omega ^2\] Add them up and you will get the kinetic energy that they wanted

sam (.sam.):

\(\omega\) is angular velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and v?

sam (.sam.):

Velocity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hey is moment of inertia vector/scalar? kinetic energy vector/scalr, we will go for balls momentum is it vector/scalar

sam (.sam.):

Neither, moment of inertia is a tensor.
