A rotating flywheel has been proposed as a means of temporarily storing mechanical energy in an automobile, providing an energy source for the car. The energy that can be stored in this way is limited by the size and weight of the flywheel and by the maximum angular velocity it can attain without flying apart. Suppose a solid cylindrical flywheel of radius 75.0 cm and mass 75.0 kg rotates at a maximum angular velocity of 255 rad/s. Find the maximum rotational energy of the flywheel. How many liters of gasoline would provide the same mechanical energy given that each liter provides 8.50 106 J of mechanical energy? liters of gasoline
