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. How much work has to be done to stop it?
Radius of the hoop, r = 2 m
Mass of the hoop, m = 100 kg
Velocity of the hoop, v = 20 cm/s = 0.2 m/s
Total energy of the hoop = Translational KE + Rotational KE
$E_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} I \omega^{2}$
Moment of inertia of the hoop about its centre, $I=m r^{2}$
$E_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(m r^{2}\right) \omega^{2}$
But we have the relation, $v=r \omega$
$\therefore E_{\mathrm{T}}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m r^{2} \omega^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}=m v^{2}$
The work required to be done for stopping the hoop is equal to the total energy of the hoop.
$\therefore$ Required work to be done, $W=m v^{2}=100 \times(0.2)^{2}=4 \mathrm{~J}$
