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

A generator produces 38 mwmw of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of 78 kvkv. part a what is the rms current in the t
4vir4ik [10]

The rms current in the transmission lines is I = 487.18 A.

The root-imply-rectangular (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal supply of electromotive force  is used to represent the source. it is the rectangular root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Alternating-present day circuits. the root-imply-square (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal source of electromotive force is used to symbolize the supply. it's far the square root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Electric power is  by using present day or the waft of electric fee and voltage or the capacity of rate to deliver electricity. A given cost of power can be produced by using any combination of contemporary and voltage values

power = 38 M watt

rms voltage = 78 K v

power = IV

I = power/V

I = (38 * 1000000)/78*1000

I = 487.18 A.

You pull straight up on the string of a yo-yo with a force 0.35 N, and while your hand is moving up a distance 0.16 m, the yo-yo
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

a) 0.138J

b) 3.58m/S

c) (1.52J)(I)

Explanation:

a) to find the increase in the translational kinetic energy you can use the relation

\Delta E_k=W=W_g-W_p

where Wp is the work done by the person and Wg is the work done by the gravitational force

By replacing Wp=Fh1 and Wg=mgh2, being h1 the distance of the motion of the hand and h2 the distance of the yo-yo, m is the mass of the yo-yo, then you obtain:

Wp=(0.35N)(0.16m)=0.056J\\\\Wg=(0.062kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(0.32m)=0.19J\\\\\Delta E_k=W=0.19J-0.056J=0.138J

the change in the translational kinetic energy is 0.138J

b) the new speed of the yo-yo is obtained by using the previous result and the formula for the kinetic energy of an object:

\Delta E_k=\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2-\frac{1}{2}mv_o^2

where vf is the final speed, vo is the initial speed. By doing vf the subject of the formula and replacing you get:

v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{m}}\sqrt{\Delta E_k+(1/2)mv_o^2}\\\\v_f=\sqrt{\frac{2}{0.062kg}}\sqrt{0.138J+1/2(0.062kg)(2.9m/s)^2}=3.58\frac{m}{s}

the new speed is 3.58m/s

c) in this case what you can compute is the quotient between the initial rotational energy and the final rotational energy

\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{1/2I\omega_f^2}{1/2I\omega_o^2}=\frac{\omega_f^2}{\omega_o^2}\\\\\omega_f=\frac{v_f}{r}\\\\\omega_o=\frac{v_o}{r}\\\\\frac{E_{fr}}{E_{fr}}=\frac{v_f^2}{v_o^2}=\frac{(3.58m/s)}{(2.9m/s)^2}=1.52J

hence, the change in Er is about 1.52J times the initial rotational energy

What is the relationship between power and voltage?
kipiarov [429]

<u>Answer:</u>

The power and voltage are related through Power Rule .

<u> Explanation : </u>

Power Rule  states  that the current I  that flows the element in the circuit  with a loss in voltage V,  then the amount of  power dissipated by that element in the circuit is the   multiplicative product of  voltage and the current.

Mathematically, power law  is

\boldsymbol{P}=\boldsymbol{I} \times \boldsymbol{V}

The rate of work done or the rate of energy consumption or production is  termed as power.Unit of power is denoted as W(watts).

Potential energy between  any two points on a circuit is called as  Voltage and is measured in volts (V) .
