A energy storage system based on a flywheel (a rotating disk) can store a maximum of 4.0 MJ when the flywheel is rotating at 20,

000 revolutions per minute. What is the moment of inertia of the flywheel?

Answer:

Moment of inertia of the flywheel, I=1.82\ kg-m^2          

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum energy stored on  flywheel, E=4\ MJ=4\times 10^6\ J

Angular velocity of the flywheel, \omega=20000\ rev/s=2094.39\ rad/s

We need to find the moment of inertia of the flywheel. The energy of a flywheel in rotational kinematics is given by :

E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel

On rearranging we get :

I=\dfrac{2E}{\omega^2}

I=\dfrac{2\times 4\times 10^6}{(2094.39)^2}

I=1.82\ kg-m^2

So, the moment of inertia of the flywheel is I=1.82\ kg-m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.

Find the mass of an object if a 40 N of force causes the object to accelerate at 5.5 m/s/s
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8 kg</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of the object can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{40}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>8 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you

Doubling the frequency of a wave source doubles the speed of the wave assuing that wavelength remains the same? True or false? W
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:true,because velocity is directly proportional to speed or velocity

Explanation:

Velocity = frequency x wavelength

The velocity or speed varies directly with the frequency, so as the frequency is increased, the velocity or speed is also increased

You walk into a darkened room and turn on a flashlight. You see an image of the flashlight reflecting off a plane mirror in fron
user100 [1]

Answer:

4.2 is the answer

Explanation

The image formed in a plane mirror is an equal distance behind the mirror as the object in front of it.

Step 1: the equation to this problem would be: 8.4/2

Step 2: 8.4 ÷ 2 = 4.2

Which interactions are part of the greenhouse effect? Select three options.
Allisa [31]

<u>Out of the given options, the following interactions are part of the greenhouse effect, </u>

  • Gases in the atmosphere absorb heat
  • Earth’s surface radiates energy back into the atmosphere
  • Gases in the atmosphere radiate heat back to the surface

Answers: Options A, D and E

<u>Explanation: </u>

The greenhouse effect, basically a warming effect caused by the greenhouse gases such as Carbon-Di-oxide, Methane, nitrous oxides, water vapour etc. These gases usually trap the heat that Earth Absorbs by the Sun.  

In the day time, the Earth absorbs the energy in the form of heat which is radiated by the Sun. In the evening, the process gets reversed and the Earth starts releasing that heat into the atmosphere.

Now, this heat gets absorbed by this gases before it leaves the Earth's atmosphere and gets trapped there only, resulting in the temperature raise of the Earth's environment.

So, the prime causes of the greenhouse effect remains as the heat radiation from the Sun, the absorption of that heat by the Earth surface and the further absorption of that heat produced by the greenhouse gases that present in the atmosphere.
