Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of R = 1.22 m and a mass of 67.0 kg . To

prevent structural failure of the flywheel, the maximum allowed radial acceleration of a point on its rim is 3510 m/s2 .What is the maximum kinetic energy that can be stored in the fly-wheel?

Answer: 71.7 KJ

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body can be written as follows:

Krot = ½ I ω2

Now, any point on the rim of the flywheel, is acted by a centripetal force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, as follows:

Fc = m. ac

It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration, is related with the angular velocity and the radius, as follows:

ac =  ω2 r

We know that this acceleration has a limit value, so , we can take this limit to obtain a maximum value for the angular velocity also.

As the flywheel is a solid disk, the rotational inertia I is just ½ m r2.

Replacing in the expression for the Krot, we have:

Krot= ½ (1/2 mr2.ac/r) = ¼ mr ac = ¼ 67.0 Kg. 1.22 m . 3,510 m/s2 = 71. 7 KJ

What is the series equivalent of two 1000 W resistors in series?
aleksandrvk [35]
The equivalent resistance when two resistors are connected in series is
the sum of their individual resistances.

The marking on the resistor that says "1000 W" is the rating that tells
how much power the resistor can safely dissipate, without overheating
or exploding. (The 'W' stands for 'Watts'.)  It doesn't tell us anything about
their individual resistances. So we don't have enough information to calculate
their series equivalent.
