A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provid

e a means for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric cars. The gasoline burned in a 445-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 4.66 x 109 J of energy. How fast would a 19.7-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.351 m have to rotate to store this much energy

Answer:

8.37*10^5 rpm

Explanation:

Given that rotational kinetic energy = 4.66*10^9J

Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg

Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m

Moment of inertia (I) = \frac{1}{2} mr ^2

Rotational K.E is illustrated as (K.E)_{rt} = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(K.E)_{rt}}{I} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2(KE)_{rt}}{1/2 mr^2} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4(K.E)_{rt}}{mr^2} }

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4*4.66*10^9J}{19.7kg*(0.351)^2} }

\omega = 87636.04

\omega = 8.76*10^4 rad/s

Since 1 rpm = \frac{2 \pi}{60}  rad/s

\omega = 8.76*10^4(\frac{60}{2 \pi})

\omega = 836518.38

\omega = 8.37 *10^5 rpm

Leno4ka [110]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance) .

Total distance = (80 + 50 + 40) = 170 km

Total time = (1 + 0.5 + 0.5) = 2 hours

Average speed = (170 km) / (2 hrs) = 85 km/hr .

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

You drive 0.025 miles blind (or 132 ft)

Explanation:

(distance) = (speed) x (time)

(distance blind) = (speed) x (time looking for CD)

(distance blind) = (45 mi/hr) x (2 s) x (1/3600 hr/s) = 0.025 miles = 132 ft

The force of Earth's gravity pulls down on a stone after someone tosses it off a cliff. What is the "equal and opposite force" d
Lapatulllka [165]

The equal and opposite force is the force of the stone's gravity pulling up on thy Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

                                      F_{AB} = - F_{BA}

  • When someone tosses a stone off a cliff, the force of gravity of Earth pulls down and the force of the stone's gravity pulls up on the Earth due to the equal and opposite reaction exerted between the Earth and the stone.
  • In Newton's third law, two important features are present. One is the force exerted on two bodies will have the same magnitude but opposite direction. The other feature is force is acting on two different objects.
  • This exerted force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction whereas the gravity exerts a downward force on a stone and upward force on an Earth which is opposite in direction.
