AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Rotational Motion

A circular disc of mass 20 kg and radius 1 m is rotating about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane with an angular velocity of \(2 \mathrm{rad} \mathrm{s}^{-1}\). Then the rotational kinetic energy of the disc is

  1. A 100 J
  2. B 50 J
  3. C 75 J
  4. D 20 J
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 20 J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( I = \frac{1}{2} m r^2 = \frac{1}{2} (20 \, \mathrm{kg}) (1 \, \mathrm{m})^2 = 10 \, \mathrm{kg} \, \mathrm{m}^2 \) \( KE_{rot} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 = \frac{1}{2} (10 \, \mathrm{kg} \, \mathrm{m}^2) (2 \, \mathrm{rad} \, \mathrm{s}^{-1})^2 = 20 \, \mathrm{J} \)
