3. A rotating object consists of a uniform rod of length 1.4 m
1.0 kg
and mass 2.0 kg with very small 1.0 kg masses attached to each
end. The object rotates around an axis through the rod’s center, 2.0 kg
Itotal = 1
12
(2.0 kg)(1.4 m)2 + 2(1.0 kg)(0.7 m)2 = 1.31 kg · m2
b) If the object is rotating with 1.5 J of kinetic energy, what is its angular velocity? Express
the answer in units of revolutions per minute.
2K 2(1.5 J)
ω2 = = 2
= 2.29 s−2 =⇒ ω = 1.51 rad
s
I (1.31 kg · m )
This converts to
1.51 rad
s
= 14.5 rpm
