Question
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 445-mile trip in a typical midsize car produces about 4.66 x 109 J of energy. How fast would a 19.7-kg flywheel with a radius of 0.351 m have to rotate to store this much energy

Answer:
Explanation:
Given that rotational kinetic energy =
Mass of the fly wheel (m) = 19.7 kg
Radius of the fly wheel (r) = 0.351 m
Moment of inertia (I) =
Rotational K.E is illustrated as
Since 1 rpm =
