A 1.0-kg ring with an inner radius of 0.060 m and an outer radius of 0.080 m is sent rolling without slipping up a ramp that makes an angle of 30? with the horizontal. The initial speed of the ring is 3.8 m/s
How far along the ramp does it travel before it comes to a stop?
The system is like annular disc. Moment of inertia of this system is I = ½ * M(r12 + r22)
r1 = outer radius r2 = inner radius , M mass , velocity = 3.8 m/s
I = ½ * 1 * (0.0802 + 0.0602) kg m2
I = 0.005 kg m2
Total Kinetic Energy is KE
KE = ½mv² + ½I?² v = r1 ?
= ½mv² + ½I(v/r1)²
= ½ * 1 * 3.8 * 3.8 + ½ * 0.005 * (3.8 / 0.08)2
= 7.22 +5.64
= 12.86 J
All it converts to Potential energy
PE = m g h
12.86 = m g h
h = 12.86 / m g
= 1.312 m
How far along the ramp does it travel before it comes to a stop?
Since it is a ramp
d = 1.312 / sin 30
d = 2.624 m
It is 2.624 m along the ramp it travel before it comes to a stop.
