It has been argued that power plants should make use of off-peak hours (such as late at night) to generate mechanical energy and

store it until it is needed during peak load times, such as the middle of the day. One suggestion has been to store the energy in large flywheels spinning on nearly frictionless ball-bearings. Consider a flywheel made of iron, with a density of 7800 kg/m^3 , in the shape of a uniform disk with a thickness of 11.3 cm.
Required:
a. What would the diameter of such a disk need to be if it is to store an amount of kinetic energy of 14.1 MJ when spinning at an angular velocity of 93.0 rpm about an axis perpendicular to the disk at its center?
b. What would be the centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim when spinning at this rate?

Answer:

Explanation:

kinetic energy = 14.1 MJ = 14.1 x 10⁶ J

Let radius of flywheel be r .

volume of flywheel = π r² x t where t is thickness

= 3.14 x r² x .113 m³

= .04 r² m³

mass = volume x density

= .04 r² x 7800 = 312.73 r²kg

moment of inertia I = 1 / 2 mass x radius²

= .5 x 312.73 r² x r²

= 156.37 r⁴ kg m²

angular velocity ω = 2π x 93/60

= 9.734 rad /s

kinetic energy = 1/2 Iω² where ω is angular velocity

= .5 x 156.37 r⁴ x 9.734²

= 7408.08 r⁴

Given

7408.08 r⁴ =  14.1 x 10⁶

r⁴ = .19 x 10⁴

r = .66 x 10

= 6.60 m .

Diameter = 13.2 m

b )

centripetal acceleration of a point on its rim = ω² r

= 9.734² x 6.6

= 625.35 m /s²

If the thrower takes 0.90 s to complete one revolution, starting from rest, what will be the speed of the discus at release?
Marysya12 [62]
Ω₀ = the initial angular velocity (from rest)
t = 0.9 s, time for a revolution
θ = 2π rad, the angular distance traveled

Let
α =  the angular acceleration
ω =  the final angular velocity

The angular rotation obeys the equation
(1/2)*(α rad/s²)*(0.9 s)² = (2π rad)
α = 15.514 rad/s²

The final angular velocity is
ω = (15.514 rad/s²)*(0.9 s) = 13.963 rad/s

If the thrower's arm is r meters long, the tangential velocity of release will be 
v = 13.963r m/s

Answer: 13.963 rad/s

A person kicks a 4.0-kilogram door with a 48-newton force causing the door to accelerate at 12 meters per second squared. What i
inna [77]

Answer:

-48 N

Explanation:

mass of door (m) = 4 kg

acceleration of the door = 12 m/s^{2}

force exerted by the person = 48 N

From Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal but opposite. Therefore the force exerted on the door by the person which is 48 N will be the same as the force exerted on the person by the door but opposite in its direction, and this would be - 48 N

A student drops an egg from the roof of their house onto a trampoline. The egg feels a change in momentum of 2.2 kg^ * m/s in 1.
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

F = m a = m v / t       where v is the change in velocity in time t

F = p / t       since m v is equal to p

F = 2.2 (kg m / s) / 1.1 s = 2 kg-m / s^2 = 2 N

Or you can use the impulse equation
