Why is the following situation impossible? In a large city with an air-pollution problem, a bus has no combustion engine. It runs over its citywide route on energy drawn from a large, rapidly rotating flywheel under the floor of the bus. The flywheel is spun up to its maximum rotation rate of 3 000 rev/min by an electric motor at the bus terminal. Every time the bus speeds up, the flywheel slows down slightly. The bus is equipped with regenerative braking so that the flywheel can speed up when the bus slows down. The flywheel is a uniform solid cylinder with mass 1 200 kg and radius 0.500 m. The bus body does work against air resistance and rolling resistance at the average rate of 25.0 hp as it travels its route with an average speed of 35.0 km/h.

Solution Summary: The author explains that the bus cannot travel on its route with the average speed because the distance is too small. The formula to calculate the work done by the flywheel is, W=12Iome

Passage Problems
Laptop computers are equipped with accelerometers that sense when
the device is dropped and then put the hard drive into a protective mode.
Your computer geek friend has written a program that reads the accel-
erometer and calculates the laptop's apparent weight. You're amusing
yourself with this program on a long plane flight. Your laptop weighs
just 5 pounds, and for a long time that's what the program reports. But
then the "Fasten Seatbelt" light comes on as the plane encounters turbu-
lence. Figure 4.27 shows the readings for the laptop's apparent weight
over a 12-second interval that includes the start of the turbulence.
76. At the first sign of turbulence,
the plane's acceleration
a. is upward.
b. is downward.
c. is impossible to tell from
the graph.
77. The plane's vertical ac-
celeration has its greatest
magnitude
a. during interval B.
b. during interval C.
c. during interval D.
78. During interval C, you can
conclude for certain that the
plane is

If the metal sphere on the Van de Graff has a charge of 0.14 Coulombs and the person has a mass of 62 kg, how much excess charge would the person need in order to levitate at a distance 25 cm from the center of the charged metal sphere? Assume you can treat both the person and the metal sphere as point charges a distance 25 cm from each other
If the metal sphere on the Van de Graff has a charge of 0.14 Coulombs and the person has a mass of 62 kg, how much excess charge would the person need in order to levitate at a distance 25 cm from the center of the charged metal sphere? Assume you can treat both the person and the metal sphere as point charges a distance 25 cm from each other (so that you can use Coulomb's Law to calculate the electrical force).
