Total: 33
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 s1. How much work has to be done to stop it?
Solution:  
Radius of hoop, R=2m
Mass of hoop, M=100kg
Velocity of centre of mass =20cm s1=0.2ms1
The total kinetic energy of the hoop
