Question

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 0.500 m and can rotate up to 140 rev/s. Assuming all of this stored kinetic energy could be transferred to the linear velocity of the 3200-kg car, find the maximum attainable speed of the car

Step 1

Given: Mass of flywheel, m = 370 kg Radius of flywheel, r = 0.500 m The moment of inertia of a solid disk is given by I = (1/2) * m * r^2 Substitute the values: I = (1/2) * 370 kg * (0.500 m)^2 I = 46.25 kg m^2 Show more…
