It has been argued that power plants should make use of off-peak hours to generate mechanical energy and store it until it is ne

eded during peak load times. One suggestion has been to store the energy in large flywheels spinning on nearly frictionless ball bearings. Consider a flywheel made of iron (density 7800 kg/m3 ) in the shape of a 10.0 cm thick uniform disk.
(a) What would the diameter of such a disk need to be if it is to store 10.0 megajoules of kinetic energy when spinning at 90.0 rpm about an axis perpendicular to the disk at its center?

(b) What would be the centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim when spinning at this rate?

Answer:

Explanation:

90 rpm = 90 / 60 rps

= 1.5 rps

= 1.5 x 2π rad /s

angular velocity of flywheel

ω = 3π rad /s

Let I be the moment of inertia of flywheel

kinetic energy = (1/2) I ω²

(1/2) I ω² = 10⁷ J

I = 2 x  10⁷ / ω²

=2 x  10⁷ / (3π)²

= 2.2538 x 10⁵ kg m²

Let radius of wheel be R

I = 1/2 M R² , M is mass of flywheel

= 1/2 πR² x t x d x R² , t is thickness , d is density of wheel .

1/2 πR⁴ x t x d = 2.2538 x 10⁵

R⁴ = 2 x 2.2538 x 10⁵ / πt d

= 4.5076 x 10⁵ / 3.14 x .1 x 7800

= 184

R= 3.683 m .

diameter = 7.366 m .

b ) centripetal accn required

= ω² R

= 9π² x 3.683

= 326.816 m /s²

How are dwarf planets different from true planets?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has.

Explanation:

the three criteria of the IAU for a full-sized planet are: It is in orbit around the Sun. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit .

A 97.6-kg baseball player slides into second base. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the player and the ground is μk =
Mila [183]

Answer:

v=6.65m/sec

Explanation:

From the Question we are told that:

Mass m=97.6

Coefficient of kinetic friction  \mu k=0.555

Generally the equation for Frictional force is mathematically given by

 F=\mu mg

 F=0.555*97.6*9.8

 F=531.388N

Generally the  Newton's equation for Acceleration due to Friction force is mathematically given by

 a_f=-\mu g

 a_f=-0.555 *9.81

 a_f=-54455m/sec^2

Therefore

 v=u-at

 v=0+5.45*1.22

 v=6.65m/sec
