A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the disk is 5kg and its radius is 2 m. What is the linear speed, in m/s, after the mass drops by 0.3 m

1.98 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this, we would be using the law of conservation of energy, i.e total initial energy is equal to total final energy.

E(i) = E(f)

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Recall, v = wr, thus, w = v/r

Also, I = ½mr²

I = 0.5 * 5 * 2²

I = 10 kgm²

Remember,

mgh = ½Iw² + ½mv²

Substituting w for v/r, we have

mgh = ½I(v/r)² + ½mv²

Now, putting the values in the equation, we have

5 * 9.8 * 0.3 = ½ * 10 * (v/2)² + ½ * 5 * v²

14.7 = 1.25 v² + 2.5 v²

14.7 = 3.75 v²

v² = 14.7/3.75

v² = 3.92

v = √3.92

v = 1.98 m/s

Thus, the speed is 1.98 m/s

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
