Energy is to be stored in a 70.0-kg flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with radius R = 1.20 m. To prevent structural failure of the flywheel, the maximum allowed radial acceleration of a point on its rim is 3500 m/s2 . What is the maximum kinetic energy that can be stored in the flywheel?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the maximum kinetic energy that can be stored in the flywheel \(14813280J\).

Step by step solution

01

Step:-1 explanation

In the given question, Energy is to be stored in a 70.0-kg flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius R = 1.20 m.

The maximum allowed radial acceleration of a point on its rim is 3500 m/s2.

02

Step:-2 Concept  

We know the definition of radical acceleration \( = r{\omega ^2}\).

Also, we know that the moment of the inertia,

\(I = m{r^2}\).

Radical kinetic energy,

\(K = \frac{1}{2} \times {I^2} \times {\omega ^2}\).

03

Step:-1Angular velocity

Angular velocity through the radical acceleration.

\(3500\frac{m}{{{s^2}}} = r{\omega ^2}\)

\(3500\frac{m}{{{s^2}}} = 1.2m \times {\omega ^2}\)

\({\omega ^2} = \frac{{3500\frac{m}{{{s^2}}}}}{{1.2m}}\)

\({\omega ^2} = 2916.66\)

\(\omega = \sqrt {2916.66} \)

\(\omega = 54\)

04

Step:-2 moment of the inertia

We know that ,

\(I = m{r^2}\)

\( = 70 \times {\left( {1.20} \right)^2}\)

\( = 70 \times 1.44\)

\( = 100.8kg.{m^2}\)

05

Step:-3 rotational kinetic energy

We know that ,

\(K = \frac{1}{2} \times {I^2} \times {\omega ^2}\)

\( = \frac{1}{2} \times {\left( {100.8} \right)^2} \times {54^2}\)

\( = 0.5 \times 10160.64 \times 2916\)

\( = 14813280J\)

Hence , the maximum kinetic energy that can be stored in the flywheel \(14813280J\).

The driver of a car wishes to pass a truck that is traveling at a constant speed of20.0m/s(about41mil/h). Initially, the car is also traveling at20.0m/s, and its front bumper is24.0mbehind the truck’s rear bumper. The car accelerates at a constant 0.600m/s2, then pulls back into the truck’s lane when the rear of the car is26.0mahead of the front of the truck. The car islong, and the truck is 21.0m long. (a) How much time is required for the car to pass the truck? (b) What distance does the car travel during this time? (c) What is the final speed of the car?
