Explanation:

The complete question is

A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2.

Part (a) If such a flywheel of radius r1 = 1.1 m and mass m1 = 11 kg can spin at a maximum speed of v = 35 m/s at its rim, calculate the maximum amount of energy, in joules, that this flywheel can store?

Part (b) Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 1.1 m, mass m1 = 11 kg, v = 35 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 16 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel?

Part (c) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.

moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2}

where m is the mass of the flywheel,

and r is the radius of the flywheel

for the flywheel with radius 1.1 m

and mass 11 kg

moment of inertia will be

I =  \frac{1}{2}*11*1.1^{2} = 6.655 kg-m^2

The maximum speed of the flywheel = 35 m/s

we know that v = ωr

where v is the linear speed = 35 m/s

ω = angular speed

r = radius

therefore,

ω = v/r = 35/1.1 = 31.82 rad/s

maximum rotational energy of the flywheel will be

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 31.82^{2} = <em>6738.27 J</em>

<em></em>

b) second flywheel  has

radius = 2.8 m

mass = 16 kg

moment of inertia is

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2} =  \frac{1}{2}*16*2.8^{2} = 62.72 kg-m^2

According to conservation of angular momentum, the total initial angular momentum of the first flywheel, must be equal to the total final angular momentum of the combination two flywheels

for the first flywheel, rotational momentum = Iw = 6.655 x 31.82 = 211.76 kg-m^2-rad/s

for their combination, the rotational momentum is

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w

where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the values first and second  flywheels

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w = (6.655 + 62.72)ω

where ω here is their final angular momentum together

==> 69.375ω

Equating the two rotational momenta, we have

211.76 = 69.375ω

ω = 211.76/69.375 = 3.05 rad/s

Therefore, the energy stored in the first flywheel in this situation is

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 3.05^{2} = <em>61.908 J</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

c) one third of the initial energy of the flywheel is

6738.27/3 = 2246.09 J

For the car, the kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

where m is the mass of the car

v_{car} is the velocity of the car

Equating the energy

2246.09 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

making m the subject of the formula

mass of the car m = \frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }

A planet has been observed orbiting a nearby star. This star has a mass of 3.5 solar masses, and the planet is 4.2 AU from the s
kondaur [170]

Answer:

4.6 years

Explanation:

This is solved using Kepler's third law which says:

T^2=\frac{4\pi ^2}{GM} a^2

Where

T = Orbital period of the planet (in seconds)

a = Distance from the star (in meters)

G = Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the parent star (in kg)

From the information given

M = 3.5M_{sun} = 6.96*10^{30} kg

a=4.2AU = 6.28*10^{11} meters

G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}

We put this into Kepler's law and get:

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^2}{6.67*10^{-11}*6.96*10^{30}} (6.28*10^{11})^3}=145,128,196 seconds.

This when converted to years is 4.6 years.

A hollow spherical shell has mass 8.20 kg and radius 0.220 m. It is initially at rest and then rotates about a stationary axis t
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

8.91 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 8.20 kg

radius, r = 0.22 m

Moment of inertia of the shell, I = 2/3 mr^2

                                                    = 2/3 x 8.2 x 0.22 x 0.22 = 0.265 kgm^2

n = 6 revolutions

Angular displacement, θ = 6 x 2 x π = 37.68 rad

angular acceleration, α = 0.890 rad/s^2

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω.

Use third equation of motion

ω² = ωo² + 2αθ

ω² = 0 + 2 x 0.890 x 37.68

ω = 8.2 rad/s

Kinetic energy,

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.265 x 8.2 x 8.2

K = 8.91 J

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.3 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.3 kg
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

a) 4.2m/s

b) 5.0m/s

Explanation:

This problem is solved using the principle of conservation of linear momentum which states that in a closed system of colliding bodies, the sum of the total momenta before collision is equal to the sum of the total momenta after collision.

The problem is also an illustration of elastic collision where there is no loss in kinetic energy.

Equation (1) is a mathematical representation of the the principle of conservation of linear momentum for two colliding bodies of masses m_1 and m_2 whose respective velocities before collision are u_1 and u_2;

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2..............(1)

where v_1 and v_2 are their respective velocities after collision.

Given;

m_1=1.3kg\\u_1=5m/s\\m_2=1.3kg\\u_2=0m/s

Note that u_2=0 because the second mass m_2 was at rest before the collision.

Also, since the two masses are equal, we can say that m_1=m_2=m so that equation (1) is reduced as follows;

mu_1+mu_2=mv_1+mv_2\\\\m(u_1+u_2)=m(v_1+v_2)..............(2)

m cancels out of both sides of equation (2), and we obtain the following;

u_1+u_2=v_1+v_2.............(3)

a) When v_1=0.8m/s, we obtain the following by equation(3)

5+0=0.8+v_2\\hence\\v_2=5-0.8\\v_2=4.2m/s

b) As m_1 stops moving v_1=0, therefore,

5+0=0+v_2\\v_2=5m/s

A 6.7 kg block is released from rest on a frictionless inclined plane making an angle of 25.7° with the horizontal. Calculate th
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

So time taken by block to travel 0.5 m from rest will be 0.4853 sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the block m = 6.7 kg

angle of inclination \Theta =25.7^{\circ}

Distance traveled s = 0.5 m

Initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration of the block a=gsin\Theta =9.8\times sin25.7^{\circ}=4.243m/sec^2

From second equation of motion we know that S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So 0.5=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 4.243\times t^2

t^2=0.2356

t = 0.4853 sec

So time taken by block to travel 0.5 m from rest will be 0.4853 sec
