A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel with a radius of 1.50 m and a mass of 430 kg. Before a trip, the fl

ywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 5,200 rev/min.
Required:
a. Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel.
b. If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as would a 15.0-hp motor, find the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.

Answer:

a

  KE  =  7.17 *10^{7} \ J

b

 t = 6411.09 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The radius of the flywheel is  r =  1.50 \ m

      The mass of the flywheel is m  = 430 \ kg

          The rotational speed of the flywheel is w  =  5,200 \ rev/min = 5200 *  \frac{2 \pi }{60} =544.61 \ rad/sec

      The power supplied by the motor is  P  =  15.0 hp =  15 * 746 =  11190 \ W

         

     Generally the moment of inertia of the flywheel is  mathematically represented as

       I  = \frac{1}{2} mr^2

substituting values

       I  = \frac{1}{2}  ( 430)(1.50)^2

       I  = 483.75 \  kgm^2

The kinetic energy that is been stored is  

       KE  =  \frac{1}{2} * I * w^2

substituting values

        KE  =  \frac{1}{2} * 483.75 * (544.61)^2

        KE  =  7.17 *10^{7} \ J

Generally power is mathematically represented as

          P =  \frac{KE}{t}

=>      t =  \frac{KE}{P}

substituting the value

        t = \frac{7.17 *10^{7}}{11190}

        t = 6411.09 \ s

astraxan [27]

Answer: True

Explanation: Following are the properties that are used to identify minerals:

(1) Color

(2) Hardness

(3) Magnetism : It is the property of mineral to attract or repel with other magnetic materials.

(4) Luster : It is the property that shows the surface is reflecting light or not.

(5) Reactivity: Reactivity is also responsible to identify mineral. How the mineral is reacting with acids, bases etc helps to identify type of minerals.
