A 4470 kg bus is travelling at 17 m/s. Normally, if it comes to a stop, all of that energy is lost to heat and sound. However, new buses have been invented with a flywheel inside that will store the kinetic energy as rotational energy. This flywheel has a rotational inertia of 2.33 kg*m^2. Assuming the bus can turn HALF of its linear kinetic energy into flywheel's rotational energy, what will the flywheel's angular velocity be? W = unit The flywheel has a radius of 0.28 meters. What is the tangential velocity at the edge of the flywheel? Vtan unit

A uniform rod is set up so that it can rotate about an axis at perpendicular to one of its ends. The length and mass of the rod are 0.893 m and 1.19 kg, respectively. A force of constant magnitude F acts on the rod at the end opposite the rotation axis. The direction of the force is perpendicular to both the rod's length and the rotation axis. Calculate the value of F that will accelerate the rod from rest to an angular speed of 6.31 rad/s in 8.87 s. F = N

Energy of a Bullet Dissipated by Plywood. As part of a criminal investigation, you need to determine how much of a bullet's energy is dissipated by a 0.500-inch piece of plywood. You construct a device that consists of three disks that are separated by a distance d = 0.850 m and rotate on a common axis. The bullet is fired through the first disk (a few inches above its center), which is composed of a light plastic that has a negligible effect on the speed of the bullet. The bullet then passes through the second disk, which is composed of 0.500-inch plywood. Finally, the bullet strikes the third disk, where it becomes embedded. The disks rotate with an angular velocity of w = 86.0 rad/s. The angular displacement between holes in the first and second disks is A012 = 0.269 rad, and the angular displacement between the holes in the second and third disks is A023 = 0.286 rad. If the mass of the bullet is 12.0 g, find (a) the initial speed of the bullet and (b) the energy dissipated by the…

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 683 rad/s. One such flywheel is a solid, uniform cylinder with a mass of 535 kg and a radius of 1.2 m that rotates about its central axis. What is the kinetic energy of the flywheel after charging? If the truck uses an average power of 8.4 kW, for how many minutes can it operate between chargings?
