In a circus performance, a large 3.0 kg hoop with a radius of 1.3 m rolls without slipping. if the hoop is given an angular speed of 6.8 rad/s while rolling on the horizontal and is allowed to roll up a ramp inclined at 24◦ with the horizontal, how far (measured along the incline) does the hoop roll? the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 .

The distance is 19.58 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 3.0 kg

Radius = 1.3 m

Angular speed = 6.8 rad/s

Angle = 24°

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s²

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of kinetic energy

Total Initial kinetic energy,

....(I)

Now, Total potential energy

....(II)

Equating equation (I) and (II)

Hence, The distance is 19.58 m.

change tension

your answer is, orbit around the nucleus
