Q.

A uniform disc of mass 0.5 kg and radius r is projected with velocity 18 m/s at t = 0 s on a rough horizontal surface. It starts off with a purely sliding motion at t = 0 s. After 2 s it acquires a purely rolling motion (see figure). The total kinetic energy of the disc after 2 s will be ______ J (given, coefficient of friction is 0.3 and g = 10 m/s2).      [2023]

a=-μkg=-3

v=18-3×2

v=12 m/s

KE=12mv2+12(mr22)v2r2

KE=34mv2

KE=3×18=54 J
