A 1090 kg car has four 12.7 kg wheels. When the car is moving, what fraction of the total kinetic energy of the car is due to ro

tation of the wheels about their axles? Assume that the wheels have the same rotational inertia as uniform disks of the same mass and size.

Answer:

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

Explanation:

To develop this exercise we proceed to use the kinetic energy equations,

In the end we replace

KE_{Total}=KE_{Translational}+KE_{Rotational}

KE_{Total}=\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+4*\frac{1}{2}*I*(\frac{v}{r})^2

Here

I=\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2 meaning the 4 wheels,

So replacing

KE_{Rotational}=4\frac{1}{2}*(\frac{1}{2}m_{wheels}*r^2)*(\frac{v}{r})^2=m*v^2

So,

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}*v^2}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}*v^2+m_{wheels}*v^2}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = \frac{m_{wheels}}{\frac{1}{2}m_{car}+m_{wheels}}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} =  \frac{10}{545+10}

\frac{KE_{Rotational}}{KE_{Total}} = 0.018

It’ll be 200 meters West because 500-300=200 and The west direction has the greatest force you could say ... Anytime you have a question asking about displacement you subtract then use the direction with the greatest number ..

Describe what happens to pressure as the force exerted on a given area increases.
Goryan [66]

That's the definition of pressure ... force on a given area.

So when that force increases, it's an increase in pressure.

Below is the solution:

 <span>centripetal accel = 1.5*g 
ω²r = 1.5*9.8m/s² 
ω² * 8m = 14.7 m/s² 
ω = 1.36 rad/s * 1rev/2πrads * 60s/min = 12.9 rpm</span>
