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 ball is thrown horizontally from a 20-m-high building with a speed of 5.0m/s
KATRIN_1 [288]
1) Horizontal velocity, Vx

Vx is constant and equal to 5.0 m/s

The graph Vx(t) = 5.0 m/s is a horizontal line (parallel to the horizontal t-axis). that intercepts the vertical-axis at 5.0 and runs from t = 0 to t = 2.

2) Vertical velocity, Vy

Vy = gt = 10t

d = at^2 / 2 => tmax = √(2d / a) = √(2*20m/10m/s^2) = 2 s

Graph Vy is an inclined line with slope 10 m/s^2, that runs from t =0 to t = 2 s, and passes through the points (0,0), (1,10), and (2,20).

A car moves in a straight line at a speed of 68.5 km/h. How far (in km) will the car move in 5.45 minutes at this speed?
AlekseyPX
If you divide 68.5 km/h by 60 (the minutes in an hour) and then you get 1.141 then you multiply it by 5.45 and you get 6.222!


Your Answer is 6.222!!!!

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.
