A concept car includes a solid disk-shaped flywheel which can be spun up to store rotational kinetic energy. On demand, that stored energy can be converted into the car's translational kinetic energy. Suppose the flywheel has a mass of 339 kg, a radius of 0.3 m, and maximum rotational speed of 96 rev/s. Calculate the 1,414-kg car's maximum speed (starting from) rest if all of its kinetic energy comes from the flywheel. [Tip: Be careful with units.] Vmax = m/s

Suppose a 175 kg motorcycle is heading toward a hill at a speed of 34 m/s. The two wheels weigh 12 kg each and are each annular rings with an inner radius of 0.280 m and an outer radius of 0.330 m. a) how high can it coast up the hill, if you neglect friction in m? b) how much energy is lost to friction if the motorcycle only gains an altitude of 39m before coming to rest?

The figure below shows a ball with mass m = 0.322 kg attached to the end of a thin rod with length L = 0.454 m and negligible mass. The other end of the rod is pivoted so that the ball can move in a vertical circle. The rod is held horizontally as shown and then given enough of a downward push to cause the ball to swing down and around and just reach the vertically up position, with zero speed there. (a) What initial speed must be given the ball so that it reaches the vertically upward position with zero speed? m/s (b) What then is its speed at the lowest point? m/s (c) What then is its speed at the point on the right level with the initial point? m/s

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel (solid disk) with a radius of 2.00 m and a mass of 400 kg. Before a trip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 4500 rev/min. (a) Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel. (b) If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as would a 20.0-hp motor, find the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.
