    The moment of inertia of a body about a given axis is\[1.2kg-{{m}^{2}}\]. To produce a rotational kinetic energy of\[1500\,\,J\]an angular acceleration of\[25\text{ }rad/{{s}^{2}}\]must be applied for

    A) \[8.5s\]                                

    B) \[5s\]

    C) \[2s\]                   

    D)        \[1s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Kinetic energy of rotation is half the product of the moment of inertia\[(l)\]of the body and the square of the angular velocity\[(\omega )\]of the body. Kinetic energy of rotation\[=\frac{1}{2}\times \]moment of inertia\[\times \]angular velocity i.e.,        \[K=\frac{1}{2}/{{\omega }^{2}}\]              \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{2K}{l}\] Given\[l=1.2kg\,\,{{m}^{2}},\,\,K=1500\,\,J\]        \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{2\times 1500}{1.2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\omega =50\,\,rad/s\] From the equation of angular motion, we have         \[\omega ={{\omega }_{0}}+\alpha t\] where\[{{\omega }_{0}}\]is initial angular velocity, \[\alpha \]is angular acceleration and\[t\]is time given\[{{\omega }_{0}}=0\],                 \[\omega =50\,\,rad/s\]                 \[\alpha =25\,\,rad/{{s}^{2}}\]                 \[t=\frac{\omega }{\alpha }=\frac{50}{25}=2s\]
