A mass of 5 kg is moving along a circular path of radius 1 m. If the mas moves with 300 rev/min, its kinetic energy would be
 

1. 250π2

2. 100π2

3. 5π2

4. 0

(a) Hint: Using angular velocity, we can find the linear speed.

Step 1: Find the angular speed of the mass.

 Given,mass =m=5kg
Radius =1m=R
Revolution per min. ω = 300rev/min
                                        = (300×2π)rad/min
                                        = (300×2×3.14)rad/60s
                                        = 300×2×3.1460rad/s = 10πrad/s

Step 2: Find the kinetic energy of the mass.

⇒    linear speed = v = ωR                               = (300 × 2π60)(1)                               = 10 πm/sKE = 12mv2      = 12×5×(10 π)2      = 100 π2×5×12      = 250 π2J
