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
