- When the electricity goes out on your campus, a backup source powers the servers that handle communications and the Internet. Rather than use batteries, many installations use a flywheel, a heavy rotating disk that spins, very rapidly, with nearly zero friction. An electric motor spins up the flywheel, which continues to spin with very little energy input. When the system needs to provide power, the flywheel’s motion is used to turn an electric generator. A typical system has a 540 kg cylinder with a radius of 0.30 m. A small electric motor provides a constant 2.8 N ⋅ m torque to spin up the cylinder. If the cylinder starts at rest, how long does it take to reach its final spin rate of 13,000 rpm?arrow_forwardSome European trucks run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 400 π rad/s.

If the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of mB just before it strikes the ground. Assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.arrow_forward
