The turntable in a microwave oven has a moment of inertia of 0.038 kg m2 and is rotating once every 4.6s. what is its kinetic energy?

Respuesta :

KE=(moment x angular velocity^2)/2

 angular velocity = 2(pi)/t

 so angular velocity = 2*(pi)/4.6 = 1.3657 radians

KE = (0.038*1.3657^2)/2 = 0.0354 Joules

Round answer as necessary

The kinetic energy of the turntable in the microwave will be equal to

0.0354 J

What is Rotating Kinetic energy?

The rotating kinetic energy is defined as when the body rotates it possesses the energy due to its angular velocity this energy is called the rotating kinetic energy.

It is given in the question :

The moment of inertia [tex]I=0.038\ kg-m^2[/tex]

The time of rotation [tex]t= 4.96\ s[/tex]

Now the kinetic energy will be calculated as:

[tex]KE =\dfrac{1}{2} \times I\times w^2[/tex]

The angular velocity w will be calculated as:

[tex]w=\dfrac{2\pi}{t} =\dfrac{2\pi}{4.6} =1.3657\ rad[/tex]

Now put the value of angular velocity in the formula;

[tex]KE=\dfrac{1} {2}\times 0.038\times (1.3657)^2=0.0354\ J[/tex]

Thus the kinetic energy of the turntable in the microwave will be equal to 0.0354 J
