An experimental car is designed to work by accumulating energy in a flywheel shaped as a solid disc. To make the car move, the flywheel is "charged" by attaching it to an external machine able to exert a torque on the wheel ofr = 1000 Nm, so that the flywheel is accelerated and accumulates rotational kinetic encrgy. The friction of the flywheel with its axle bearings is negligible, and it has a radius R = 1.2 m and a mass m = 631.5 kg. a) If the flywheel is "charged" for 10 minutes from rest, determine its final angular velocity. Wf : 1319.61rad/s b) Determine the total rotational kinetic energy accumulated by the flywheel during this time. RKE - 3.958 X 10 Nm c) If all the energy contained in the flywheel is used to accelerate (from rest) a car of mass M = 2523.4 kg, determine the final velocity of the car. To make the calculation casier, ignore the friction between the car and the asphalt and air resistance. Vf : 560.IS m/s

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel (solid disk) with a radius of 2.00 m and a mass of 400 kg. Before a trip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 4500 rev/min. (a) Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel. (b) If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as would a 20.0-hp motor, find the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.
You are riding your bicycle down the street at a speed of 16 m/s. Your bicycle's frame has a mass of 6.0 kg, and each of its two wheels has mass 2.2 kg and radius 0.34 m.

What is the total kinetic energy of the bicycle (in Joules), taking into account both the translational and rotational motion?

A uniform disk (1=1/2 mR2) has a mass of 3 kg and a radius of 2m. The disk is mounted on frictionless bearings and is used as a turntable. The turntable is initially rotating at 120 rpm (revolutions per minute, convert it to rad/s). A hollow cylinder has the same mass and radius as the disk. It is released from rest, just above the turntable, and on the same vertical axis. The hollow cylinder slips on the turntable for 0.20 s until it acquires the same final angular velocity as the turntable. (HINT: Note that some of the information given is not needed! Think which conservation law(s) apply.) The final angular momentum of the system is closest to: L = Submit [5] ΑΣΦ Request Answer ? kg. m²/s 4
