Chapter 10, Problem 30P
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.

When the electricity goes out on your campus, a backup source powers the servers that handle communications and the Internet. Rather than use batteries, many installations use a flywheel, a heavy rotating disk that spins, very rapidly, with nearly zero friction. An electric motor spins up the flywheel, which continues to spin with very little energy input. When the system needs to provide power, the flywheel’s motion is used to turn an electric generator. A typical system has a 540 kg cylinder with a radius of 0.30 m. A small electric motor provides a constant 2.8 N ⋅ m torque to spin up the cylinder. If the cylinder starts at rest, how long does it take to reach its final spin rate of 13,000 rpm?

A flywheel is a solid disk that rotates about an axis that is perpendicular to the disk at its center. Rotating flywheels provide a means
for storing energy in the form of rotational kinetic energy and are being considered as a possible alternative to batteries in electric
cars. The gasoline burned in a 243-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 4.81 x 10° J of energy. How fast would a 46.7-kg
flywheel with a radius of 0.475 m have to rotate to store this much energy? Give your answer in rev/min.

- Why is the following situation impossible? A space station shaped like a giant wheel has a radius of r = 100 m and a moment of inertia of 5.00 108 kg m2. A crew of 150 people of average mass 65.0 kg is living on the rim, and the stations rotation causes the crew to experience an apparent free-fall acceleration of g (Fig. P10.52). A research technician is assigned to perform an experiment in which a ball is dropped at the rim of the station every 15 minutes and the time interval for the ball to drop a given distance is measured as a test to make sure the apparent value of g is correctly maintained. One evening, 100 average people move to the center of the station for a union meeting. The research technician, who has already been performing his experiment for an hour before the meeting, is disappointed that he cannot attend the meeting, and his mood sours even further by his boring experiment in which every time interval for the dropped ball is identical for the entire evening.arrow_forwardLara is running just outside the circumference of a carousel, looking for her favorite horse to ride, with a constant angular speed of 1.00 rad/s. Just as she spots the horse, one-fourth of the circumference ahead of her, the carousel begins to move, accelerating from rest at 0.050 rad/s2. a. Taking the time when the carousel begins to move as t = 0, when will Lara catch up to the horse? b. Lara mistakenly passes the horse and keeps running at constant angular speed. If the carousel continues to accelerate at the same rate, when will the horse draw even with Lara again?arrow_forwardA disk with moment of inertia I1 rotates about a frictionless, vertical axle with angular speed i.
