Kinetic Energy Of an rotating object

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the kinetic energy of a rotating object, the moment of inertia must first be determined. The kinetic energy formula for rotation is given by 1/2 I ω², where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular velocity in radians per second. For a phonograph album, the moment of inertia can be calculated based on its mass and diameter. The discussion highlights the need to convert the album's rotation speed from RPM to radians per second for accurate calculations. Understanding these principles is essential for solving the kinetic energy problem effectively.

1. A 75-g phonograph album of 30-cm diameter spins at 33.3 rpm. What is its kinetic energy?

Welcome to PF.

What are your thoughts on how to go about solving it.
 
well i think that Kinetic Energy is 1/2mv2so is it like that but instead of v you put in the 33.3 rpm. like 1/2(75)(33.3)2 maybe?

What is the moment of inertia of the phonograph?

Using the moment of inertia what is the formula then for rotational kinetic energy?
 
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'
Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...
