A passenger bus in Zurich, Switzerland derived its motive power from the energy stored in a large flywheel. The wheel was brough

t up to speed periodically, when the bus stopped at a station, by an electric motor, which could then be attached to the electric power lines. The flywheel was a solid cylinder with a mass of 1090kg and a diameter of 1.90m ; its top angular speed was 2950rev/min .
Part A

At this angular speed, what is the kinetic energy of the flywheel?

Part B

If the average power required to operate the bus is 1.85

Answer:

Explanation:

moment of inertia of flywheel

= 1/2 m R²

= .5 x 1090 x .95²

I = 491.8625 kgm²

angular speed ω = 2πn where n = revolution per second

= 2π x 2950 / 60

= 308.77 rad /s

Rotational kinetic energy

= 1/2 Iω²

= .5 x 491.8625 x 308.77²

= 23.446 x 10⁶ J

B )

power being used by bus = 1.85 x 10⁴ W .

energy provided by flywheel = 23.446 x 10⁶ J

energy used per second =  1.85 x 10⁴ J

Time duration of travel between two station

= 23.446 x 10⁶ / 1.85 x 10⁴

= 1267 s

21.11 minutes.

musickatia [10]

Answer: The reactions are controlled to regulate energy output

Explanation:

Nuclear energy is produced when either two nuclei fuse to produce larger nucleus or a bigger nuclei splits into two smaller nucleus.

Uranium easily splits to produce nuclear energy. The reactions are controlled and energy output can be regulated. Nuclear energy in abundant yet controlled amount is available. Nuclear energy is mostly used in steam turbines to produce electricity.

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s
alexira [117]

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>
