Explanation:

The complete question is

A flywheel is a mechanical device used to store rotational kinetic energy for later use. Consider a flywheel in the form of a uniform solid cylinder rotating around its axis, with moment of inertia I = 1/2 mr2.

Part (a) If such a flywheel of radius r1 = 1.1 m and mass m1 = 11 kg can spin at a maximum speed of v = 35 m/s at its rim, calculate the maximum amount of energy, in joules, that this flywheel can store?

Part (b) Consider a scenario in which the flywheel described in part (a) (r1 = 1.1 m, mass m1 = 11 kg, v = 35 m/s at the rim) is spinning freely at its maximum speed, when a second flywheel of radius r2 = 2.8 m and mass m2 = 16 kg is coaxially dropped from rest onto it and sticks to it, so that they then rotate together as a single body. Calculate the energy, in joules, that is now stored in the wheel?

Part (c) Return now to the flywheel of part (a), with mass m1, radius r1, and speed v at its rim. Imagine the flywheel delivers one third of its stored kinetic energy to car, initially at rest, leaving it with a speed vcar. Enter an expression for the mass of the car, in terms of the quantities defined here.

moment of inertia is given as

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2}

where m is the mass of the flywheel,

and r is the radius of the flywheel

for the flywheel with radius 1.1 m

and mass 11 kg

moment of inertia will be

I =  \frac{1}{2}*11*1.1^{2} = 6.655 kg-m^2

The maximum speed of the flywheel = 35 m/s

we know that v = ωr

where v is the linear speed = 35 m/s

ω = angular speed

r = radius

therefore,

ω = v/r = 35/1.1 = 31.82 rad/s

maximum rotational energy of the flywheel will be

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 31.82^{2} = <em>6738.27 J</em>

<em></em>

b) second flywheel  has

radius = 2.8 m

mass = 16 kg

moment of inertia is

I = \frac{1}{2}mr^{2} =  \frac{1}{2}*16*2.8^{2} = 62.72 kg-m^2

According to conservation of angular momentum, the total initial angular momentum of the first flywheel, must be equal to the total final angular momentum of the combination two flywheels

for the first flywheel, rotational momentum = Iw = 6.655 x 31.82 = 211.76 kg-m^2-rad/s

for their combination, the rotational momentum is

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w

where the subscripts 1 and 2 indicates the values first and second  flywheels

(I_{1} +I_{2} )w = (6.655 + 62.72)ω

where ω here is their final angular momentum together

==> 69.375ω

Equating the two rotational momenta, we have

211.76 = 69.375ω

ω = 211.76/69.375 = 3.05 rad/s

Therefore, the energy stored in the first flywheel in this situation is

E = Iw^{2} = 6.655 x 3.05^{2} = <em>61.908 J</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

c) one third of the initial energy of the flywheel is

6738.27/3 = 2246.09 J

For the car, the kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

where m is the mass of the car

v_{car} is the velocity of the car

Equating the energy

2246.09 =  \frac{1}{2}mv_{car} ^{2}

making m the subject of the formula

mass of the car m = \frac{4492.18}{v_{car} ^{2} }

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.13 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass
Otrada [13]
The only force on the system is the mass of the hoop F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N The mass equal of the rolling sphere is found by: the sphere rotates around the contact point with the table. 
So by applying the theorem of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is computed by:I = 2/5*mR^2 for rotation about the center of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. 
I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m 
Therefore, linear acceleration is computed by:F/m = 27.468 / (2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2

A blue puck has a velocity of 0i – 3j m/s and a mass of 4 kg. A gold puck has a velocity of 12i – 5j m/s and a mass of 6 kg. Wha
Mnenie [13.5K]
By definition, the kinetic energy is given by:
 K = (1/2) * m * v ^ 2
 where
 m = mass
 v = speed
 We must then find the speed of both objects:
 blue puck
 v = root ((0) ^ 2 + (- 3) ^ 2) = 3
 gold puck
 v = root ((12) ^ 2 + (- 5) ^ 2) = 13
 Then, the kinetic energy of the system will be:
 K = (1/2) * m1 * v1 ^ 2 + (1/2) * m2 * v2 ^ 2
 K = (1/2) * (4) * (3 ^ 2) + (1/2) * (6) * (13 ^ 2)
 K = <span> 525</span> J

A spaceship flies from Earth to a distant star at a constant speed. Upon arrival, a clock on board the spaceship shows a total e
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

35 288 mile/sec

Explanation:

This is a problem of special relativity. The clocks start when the spaceship passes Earth with a velocity v, relative to the earth. So, out and back from the earth it will take:

10 years = \frac{2d}{v}

If we use the Lorentz factor, then, as observed by the crew of the ship, the arrival time will be:

0.8 = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

Then the amount of time wil expressed as a reciprocal of the Lorentz factor. Thus:

0.8 = \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2} }{c^{2} } }

0.64 = 1-\frac{v^{2} }{186282^{2} }

solving for v, gives = 35 288 miles/s

Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a
Naily [24]

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0

v = -4.76 m/s

How much heat Q1 is transferred by 25.0 g of water onto the skin? To compare this to the result in the previous part, continue t
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The heat transferred  from water to skin  is 6913.5 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of water = 25.0 g

Suppose that water and steam, initially at 100°C, are cooled down to skin temperature, 34°C, when they come in contact with your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast. We will further assume a constant specific heat capacity c=4190 J/(kg°K) for both liquid water and steam.

We need to calculate the heat transferred  from water to skin

Using formula for stream

Q=mc\Delta T

Put the value into the formula

Q=25\times10^{-3}\times4190\times(373-307)

Q=6913.5\ J

Hence, The heat transferred  from water to skin  is 6913.5 J.
