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

A long, straight wire of radius R carries a steady current I that is uniformly distributed through the cross section of the wire
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a

  When r \ge R

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

b

 When r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius is  R  

   The  current is  I

    The  distance from the center

Ampere's law is mathematically represented as

       B[2 \pi r]  =  \mu_o  *  \frac{I r^2  }{R^2 }

      B =  \frac{ \mu_o}{2 \pi }  *  \frac{r}{R^2}

When r \ge R

=>     B =  \frac{ \mu_o *  I}{ 2 \pi r }

But when r< R

   B =  [\frac{\mu_o *  I }{ 2 \pi R^2} ]* r

A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field b with a speed of 3.7 × 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 5
svlad2 [7]
The magnetic force experienced by the proton is given by
F=qvB \sin \theta
where q is the proton charge, v its velocity, B the magnitude of the magnetic field and \theta the angle between the direction of v and B. Since the proton moves perpendicularly to the magnetic field, this angle is 90 degrees, so \sin \theta=1 and we can ignore it in the formula.

For Netwon's second law, the force is also equal to the proton mass times its acceleration:
F=ma

So we have
ma=qvB
from which we can find the magnitude of the field:
B= \frac{ma}{qv}= \frac{(1.67 \cdot 10^{-27}kg)(5\cdot 10^{13}m/s^2)}{(1-6 \cdot 10^{-19}C)(3.7 \cdot 10^7 m/s)}=0.014 T

(Fill the blank)<br> the ________ g____ makes saliva that make your food wet and easy to swallow
blagie [28]

Answer:

What make saliva that make your food wet and easy to swallow?

enzyme amylase

Explanation:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
