FINAL TEST_S123

Solve the following problems:

1. A 1500-kg travels at a constant speed of 22 m/s around a circular track that is 80 m
across. What is the kinetic energy of the car?

Given:
m = 1 500 kg
v = 22 m/s

2. What is the momentum of a 1.5 kg ball moving at 2 m/s?

Formula:
P = mv

= (1.5 kg)(2 m/s)
P = 3 kg. m/s

3. A solid cylinder of mass 20 kg rotates about its axis with angular speed 100 s-1. The
radius of the cylinder is 0.25 m. What is the kinetic energy associated with the rotation of
the cylinder? What is the magnitude of angular momentum of the cylinder about its axis?
