Rotational KE MixedHardQuestion 6179
Question
A cylinder (I=1 kg·m²) rotating at 10 rad/s is brought to rest in 5 s. Average power dissipated:
- A100 W
- B10 WCorrect
- C50 W
- D200 W
Correct answer
10 W
Explanation
The initial rotational kinetic energy is J. Dissipating this in 5 s gives an average power of 10 W.
