Homework Statement
A hoop has a mass of 200g and a radius of 25cm (ICM = MR2 ). It rolls without sliding along level ground at VCM = 5m/s. What is it's total kinetic energy?
Homework Equations
K = 1/2Iω2
ICM = MR2
v = rω
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is 5J, but I'm getting 2.5J.
ICM = MR2 = (0.2)(0.25)(0.25) 0.0125
ω = v / r = 5/0.25 = 20
K = 1/2(0.0125)(20)2 = 2.5J
Am I omitting something from the total kinetic energy equation?
