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

A long copper rod of diameter 2.0 cm is initially at a uniform temperature of 100°C. It is now exposed to an air stream at 20°C
Lisa [10]

Answer:

t = 4.0 min

Explanation:

given data:

diameter of rod = 2 cm

T_1 = 100 degree celcius

Air stream temperature =  20 degree celcius

heat transfer coefficient = 200 W/m2. K

WE KNOW THAT

copper thermal conductivity = k = 401 W/m °C

copper specific heat Cp = 385 J/kg.°C

density of copper = 8933 kg/m3

charateristic length is given as Lc

Lc = \frac{V}{A_s}

Lc = \frac{\frac{\pi D^2}{4} L}{\pi DL}

Lc = \frac{D}{4}

Lc = \frac{0.02}{6} = 0.005 m

Biot number is given as Bi = \frac{hLc}{k}

Bi = \frac{200*0.005}{401}

Bi = 0.0025

As Bi is greater than 0.1 therefore lumped system analysis is applicable

so we have

\frac{T(t) - T_∞}{Ti - T_∞} = e^{-bt} ............1

where b is given as

b = \frac{ hA}{\rho Cp V}

b = \frac{ h}{\rho Cp Lc}

b = \frac{200}{8933*385*0.005}

b = 0.01163 s^{-1}

putting value in equation 1

\frac{25-20}{100-20} = e^{-0.01163t}

solving for t we get

t = 4.0 min

A satellite orbits Earth. The only force on the satellite is the gravitational force exerted by Earth. How does the satellite’s
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

here we can say that acceleration of the satellite is same as the gravitational field due to Earth at that location

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational field is defined as the force experienced by the satellite per unit of mass

so we will have

E = \frac{F}{m}

now in order to find the acceleration of the satellite we know by Newton's II law

F = ma

so we will have

a = \frac{F}{m}

so here we can say that acceleration of the satellite is same as the gravitational field due to Earth at that location

A bullet glider and a target glider both have a mass of 0.200 kg. The bullet glider is moving 0.450 m/s
Romashka [77]

Answer:

the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Explanation:

When the two gliders collide, the mobile glider will transfer a bit of time to the fixed glider, which is why it comes out with a speed that is smaller than that of the bullet glider.

Changes can occur that the gliders unite and move with a cosecant speed less than the initial one.

The whole process must be analyzed using conservation of the moment.

             p₀ = m v₀

celestines que clash case

             p_f = (m + M) v

             po = pf

             m v₀ = (n + M) v

             v = \frac{m}{m+M}

calculemos

            v= \frac{0.200}{0.200+M} 0.450

            v= 0.09 m/s

elastic shock case

           p₀ = m v₀

           p_f = m v₁ +M v₂

           p₀ = p_f

           m v₀ = m v₁ + m v₂

which process was found after wegeners time, helped scientists find out how the continents actually move.
Genrish500 [490]
I don't quite know what you're asking so I'll just go on a rant :) Wegener created and supported the continental drift theory, which stated that all of the continents once formed a super continent called Pangea. No one at the time believed in the theory though so he spent the rest of his life trying to find evidence to prove it. However, after he died scientists began to find information that supported his theory. When scientists began to study Earth's surface and the layers below, the theory of the tectonic plates was formed. This theory stated that Earth's crust, the lithosphere, was divided into twelve moving plates. This theory did in fact prove that Wegener's theory was correct. Another theory that proved Wegener's theory to be true was the process of Sea Floor Spreading. This theory stated that at divergent plate boundaries, new ocean floor was being created and the old was being pushed away from the boundary, the old sea floor would then be pushed to deep sea trenches created by convergent plate boundaries and essentially recycled back into the Earth. I hope this helped, sorry it is so long :)

In a certain region of space, the electric field is zero. from this fact, what can you conclude about the electric potential in
eduard
The answer is that it is constant. The relation between electric field and electric potential is given as, E=  -gradient (V).  The E, the partial rate of change of Electric potential, in the equation implies that the V, the partial differential of the potential of the three-dimensional space (assuming it is considered) is constant.
