Question

A hoop of radius 2 m weighs 100 kg. It rolls along a horizontal floor so that its centre of mass has a speed of 20 cm s-1. How much work has to be done to stop it?

Moderate
Solution

Here, R = 2m, M = 100 kg, v = 20 cm s-1

                                 = 20 × 10-2 ms-1 

Total kinetic of the loop = KT+ KR

        = 12Mv2+122       [ For a hoop, I = MR2]

      = 12Mv2 + 12MR2ω2

        = 12Mv2 + 12Mv2            [ v = ]

         = Mv2

Work required to stop the hoop = Total kinetic energy of the hoop

       = Mv2 = (100 kg)(20 × 10-2 ms-1)2 = 4 J
