Marks: +1, -0
A hoop of radius 2 m weighs 100 kg. It rolls along a horizontal floor so that its centre of mass has a speed of 20 cm s−1^{-1}. How much work has to be done to stop it?
Solution:  
Radius of hoop, R=2 mR = 2\,\text{m}
Mass of hoop, M=100 kgM = 100\,\text{kg}
Velocity of centre of mass =20 cm s−1=0.2 m s−1= 20\,\text{cm}\,\text{s}^{-1} = 0.2\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}
The total kinetic energy of the hoop
=12Mv2+12Iω2= \frac{1}{2} M v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}
=12Mv2+12MR2ω2= \frac{1}{2} M v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} M R^{2} \omega^{2}
=12Mv2+12MR2ω2= \frac{1}{2} M v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} M R^{2} \omega^{2}
=12Mv2+12Mv2= \frac{1}{2} M v^{2} + \frac{1}{2} M v^{2}
=Mv2=100×(0.2)2=4 J= M v^{2} = 100 \times (0.2)^{2} = 4\,\text{J}
By work-energy theorem,
Work required to stop the hoop = Total kinetic energy of hoop = 4 J
