Answer #1

Answer :

Rotational Kinetic energy is equal to: 1/2 x moment of inertia (I), multiplied by the angular velocity (w) squared.

In order to find the angular velocity (w), we first need to find the angular acceleration (a).

We know that the force is acting tangentially to the disk, creating a torque on the disk. In this case, the torque is equal to the force times the radius (r) of the disk. T

torque is also equal to the moment of inertia times the radial acceleration (a).

Set the two Torque values equal and solve for the radial acceleration (a):
