Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


So I know how to solve this with conservation of energy, but I can't seem to get the correct answer using kinematic equations.

τnet = Iα = (MR2*(a/R))
-Tension = MRa

Fnet = ma
w-Tension = ma
-Tension = ma - mg

Plugging this into the first equation:
ma-mg = MRa
a-g = Ra
a = g/(1-R)
a = 9.8/(1-0.0800) = 10.65 m/s2

vinitial = 0
a = 10.65 m/s2
Δy = 0.45 m
vfinal = ?

vfinal2 = vinitial2 + 2aΔy
vfinal = sqrt(2aΔy)
vfinal = 3.096 m/s
v = rω
ω = v/r = 3.096/0.0800 = 38.7 rad/s

Correct answer: 26.3 rad/s

Again, I know this can be solved with conservation of energy, but I'm trying to figure it out with kinematic equations.

I forgot to include the questions in the picture:
After the hoop has descended 0.45 m, calculate the angular speed of the hoop.

Relevant equations:
τ = Iα
F = ma
Kinematic equations
