Question 6.
A gazelle.
Find the total kinetic energy of a rolling bowling ball that has a mass of 4 kg and a radius of 0.17 m moving at 15 m/s.
Recall: when rolling, the ball is both moving forward and rotating, so the total KE = the linear KE + the rotational KE
v = rω
ISphere = 2/5 MR2
ICylinder = 1/2 MR2
IRing = MR2
IStick thru center = 1/12 ML2
IStick thru end = 1/3 ML2
Is there a difference between rotational equilibrium, rotational dynamics, and rotational motion? Would you mind citing a few examples as well? Thank you so much.

- Rotational Inertia Problems 5 and 6 are paired. 5. N A system consists of four boxes modeled as particles connected by very lightweight, stiff rods (Fig. P13.5). The system rotates around the z axis, which points out of the page. Each particle has a mass of 5.00 kg.
