1) The the translational speed of sphere when it reaches the bottom is 4.830 m/s.
v=4.830 m/s
2) The rotational speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom is 21.0 rad/s.
Let us calculate the translational speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom using the principle of conservation of energy.
Total energy at the top, E = Potential energy = mgh
Total energy at the bottom, E' = Kinetic energy + rotational kinetic energy + potential energy
V = Translational speed of sphere
ω = Rotational speed of sphere
Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2 mv²
Rotational kinetic energy, K.E' = 1/2 Iω²
Where, I = Moment of inertia of the sphere
Let us calculate each term one by one
1) We know that
Moment of inertia of solid sphere, I = 2/5 mr²
Where, r is the radius of sphere, m is the mass of sphere
Substitute the given values and calculate
I = 2/5 × 1.20kg × (23.0cm)²
I = 0.686kg m²
Potential energy at the top, E = mgh
Where, g is the acceleration due to gravity
Substitute the given values and calculate
E = 1.20kg × 9.8 m/s² × 12.0mE
= 141.12 J
Kinetic energy at the bottom, K.E = E' - K.E'
Where, E' is the total energy at the bottom
Substitute the given values and calculate
K.E = (1/2) mv² + (1/2) Iω² - mgh
But, here the sphere is rolling without slipping. Therefore, v = rω
v = r0 ω
Substitute the given values and calculate
K.E = (1/2) mv² + (1/2) I (v/r0)² - mgh
141.12 = (1/2) (1.20kg) (r0ω)² + (1/2) (0.686kg m²) (ω/r0)² - (1.20kg) (9.8m/s²) (12.0m)
141.12 = 0.5 × 1.20 × (0.23ω)² + 0.5 × 0.686 × (ω/0.23)² - 137.088ω = 4.830 m/s
2) Now, let us calculate the rotational speed of the sphere when it reaches the bottom by substituting the value of v in the above equation.
ω = v/r0
ω = 4.830m/s / 0.23m
ω = 21.0 rad/s
