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 309-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 2.96 x 109 J of energy. How fast would a 10.1-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.437 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min.

Answer:

\dot n = 748178.306\,rpm

Explanation:

A flywheel stores mechanical energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy:

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

The expression is simplified by considering the flywheel as a solid disk:

K = \frac{1}{4}\cdot m\cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}

The final speed of the flywheel is:

\Delta E = \frac{1}{4}\cdot m \cdot r^{2}\cdot \omega^{2}

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{4\cdot \Delta E}{m\cdot r^{2}} }

\omega = \frac{2}{r}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{\Delta E}{m} }

\omega = \frac{2}{0.437\,m}\cdot \sqrt{\frac{2.96\times 10^{9}\,J}{10.1\,kg} }

\omega \approx 78349.049\,\frac{rad}{s}

The final speed in revolutions per minute is:

\dot n = \frac{60\cdot \omega}{2\pi}

\dot n = \frac{60\cdot (78349.049\,\frac{rad}{s} )}{2\pi}

\dot n = 748178.306\,rpm

D. 51 N. The minimum applied force that will cause the television slide is 51 N.

In order to solve this problem we have to use the force of static friction equation Fs = μs*n, where μs is the coefficient of static friction, and n is the normal force m*g.

With μs = 0.35, and n = 15kg*9.8m/s² = 147 N

Fs = (0.35)(147 N)

Fs = 51.45 N

Fs ≅ 51 N

An oil droplet is sprayed into a uniform electric field of adjustable magnitude. The 0.11 g droplet hovers
ohaa [14]

Answer:

The direction of the field is downward, and negatively charged particles will experience an upwards force due to the field.

F = N e E     where E is the value of the field and N e the charge Q

M g = N e E      and M g is the weight of the drop

N = M g / (e E)

N = 1.1E-4 * 9.8 / (1.6E-19 * 370) = 1.1 * 9.8 / (1.6 * 370) * E15 = 1.82E13

.00011 kg is a very large drop

Q = N e = M g / E = .00011 * 9.8 / 370 = 2.91E-6 Coulombs

Check:     N = Q / e = 2.91E-6 / 1.6E-19 = 1.82E13   electrons
