Physics

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel(solid disk) with a radius of 1.50 m and a mass of 600 kg. Before atrip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which bringsthe flywheel's rotational speed up to 4,000rev/min.

(a) Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel.

(b) If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as a 15.0-hpmotor would, find the length of time the car could run before theflywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.

a)

kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is

         K.E = 1/2 I?2     .=1/2((1/2) MR2) w^2

                                = (1/2)(1/2) (600 kg)(1.5 m)2(4000 rev / min) ( 2 pi/ 60 rad))^2

                       =59157600 J

(b)

power P = 15 hp

             = 746*15 W

             = 11190 W

power P = energy/time

therefore ,

             time t = energy/power

                      = 59157600 J/ 11190 W

                      = 5286.64s( 1h/ 3600 s)

                     =1.46 hr
