A disc-shaped grindstone of mass 3.0 kg and radius 8.0 cm is spinning at 600 rev/min.After the power is shut off,a man continues to sharpen his axe by holding it against the grindstone until it stops 10 s later.What was the stone's initial kinetic energy when the power was turned off? A)19 J B)3.8 $\times$ 10^-3 J C)4.8 $\times$ 10^-5 J D)1.9 $\times$ 10^-3 J E)2.4 $\times$ 10^-2 J

The initial kinetic energy of the grindstone can be calculated using the formula for the kinetic energy of a rotating object, $KE = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$, where $I$ is the moment of inertia and $\omega$ is the angular velocity in radians per second. For a disc, $I = \frac{1}{2}mr^2$, and $\omega = 600 \times \frac{2\pi}{60}$ because there are $2\pi$ radians in a revolution and 60 seconds in a minute. Plugging in the values, $I = \frac{1}{2} \times 3.0 \times (0.08)^2 = 0.0096 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m}^2$, and $\omega = 10\pi \, \text{rad/s}$. Therefore, $KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.0096 \times (10\pi)^2 \approx 15 \, \text{J}$. However, given the options do not directly match this calculation, it seems there might have been a misunderstanding or misprint in the options or the calculation process. The correct approach involves calculating the kinetic energy with the given formula, but without the exact numbers matching any of the options, the closest or intended correct answer cannot be accurately determined from the calculation provided. The initial explanation aimed to demonstrate the correct approach to finding the kinetic energy of a rotating object like a grindstone.
