A futuristic design for a car is to have a large solid disk-shaped flywheel within the car storing kinetic energy. The uniform flywheel has mass 370 kg with a radius of 0.7 m and can rotate up to 42.3 rad/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car.

A flat uniform circular disk (radius = 6.22 m, mass=320 kg) is initially stationary. The disk is free to rotate in the horizontal plane about a frictionless axis perpendicular to the center of the disk.

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel in the shape of a uniform, solid disk of radius 0.650 m and mass 540 kg. Before a trip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 5.30 ✕ 103 rev/min. HINT (a) Find the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel (in J).

A uniform disk (1=1/2 mR2) has a mass of 3 kg and a radius of 2m. The disk is mounted on frictionless bearings and is used as a turntable. The turntable is initially rotating at 120 rpm (revolutions per minute, convert it to rad/s). A hollow cylinder has the same mass and radius as the disk. It is released from rest, just above the turntable, and on the same vertical axis. The hollow cylinder slips on the turntable for 0.20 s until it acquires the same final angular velocity as the turntable. (HINT: Note that some of the information given is not needed! Think which conservation law(s) apply.) The final angular momentum of the system is closest to: L = Submit [5] ΑΣΦ Request Answer ? kg. m²/s 4
