A simple wheel has the form of a solid cylinder of radius r with a mass m uniformly distributed throughout its volume. The wheel is pivoted on a stationary axle through the axis of the cylinder and rotates about the axle at a constant angular speed. The wheel rotates n full revolutions in a time interval t. What is the kinetic energy K of the rotating wheel? Express your answer in terms of m, r, n, t, and π.

Trucks can be run on energy stored in a rotating flywheel, with an electric motor getting the flywheel up to its top speed of 683 rad/s. One such flywheel is a solid, uniform cylinder with a mass of 535 kg and a radius of 1.2 m that rotates about its central axis. What is the kinetic energy of the flywheel after charging? If the truck uses an average power of 8.4 kW, for how many minutes can it operate between chargings?
The puck in the figure below has a mass of 0.192 kg. Its original distance from the center of rotation is 40.0 cm, and it moves with a speed of 75.0 cm/s. The string is pulled downward 15.0 cm through the hole in the frictionless table. Determine the work done on the puck. Hint: Consider the change in kinetic energy of the puck.
A playground ride consists of a disk of mass M = 38 kg and radius R = 1.5 m mounted on a low-friction axle (see figure below). A child of mass m = 24 kg runs at speed v = 2.5 m/s on a line tangential to the disk and jumps onto the outer edge of the disk. R m M
A table is composed of a normal area and a sticky area. A disc has thickness d, radius R and made of a material of density p. The disc rolls on the normal area with translational velocity v without loss of energy. Then, the disc enters the sticky area and consequently immediately starts rolling and stops rolling after rolling the total distance l in the sticky area. Find the work done during this process.

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?
Two masses ma=1kg and my=5.4kg are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley as shown in the figure. The pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius R=0.62m and mass M=15kg. The system is released from rest. Just before mp hits the ground, calculate the speed of the pulley. Take h=8,5m, g=10 m/s. Round your answer to one decimal place. Note: 1Minder = CM MR? assume the rope is massiess and does not slide over the pulley. me me
We can use rotating cylinder to store energy in space. Let a 10-meter-long cylinder with diameter 1.0 m has mass 60000 kg. Estimate the kinetic energy it can store when it is rotating in an angular speed 50 rad/s.
A 26 g block sits at the center of a turntable that rotates at 50 rpm. A compressed spring shoots the block radially outward from the center along a frictionless groove in the surface of the turntable. Calculate the turntable's angular speed when the block reaches the outer edge. Treat the turntable as a solid disk with mass with mass 200 g and diameter 30.0 cm. Express your answer in revolutions per minute.
The figure shows a rigid assembly of a thin hoop (of mass m = 0.24 kg and radius R = 0.16 m) and a thin radial rod (of length L = 2R and also of mass m = 0.24 kg). The assembly is upright, but we nudge it so that it rotates around a horizontal axis in the plane of the rod and hoop, through the lower end of the rod. Assuming that the energy given to the assembly the nudge is negligible, what is the assembly's angular speed about the rotation axis when it passes through the upside-down (inverted) orientation?

Consider a wheel and axle assembly rolling down a pair of inclined rails. The reason why the wheel and axle accelerates more slowly than a block of the same mass sliding down the rails without friction s: O the frictional force for the block is less than for the wheel and axle. O some of the potential energy of the whoel and axle is converted into rotational kinetic energy. O the wheel and axle docs more work against the frictional force. O the block starts with less rotational kinetic energy frictional forces play no part in rolling motion.
A thin uniform rod has a mass of 10.0 Kg and a length of 5.00 m. It rotates freely in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis that is perpendicular to the rod and passes from point A (figure below). The distance between point A and the end of the rod is d = 1.00 m. The rod's kinetic energy as its other end B passes from the lowest vertical position is 20.0 J. What is the linear speed of end B as the rod passes through the lowest vertical position?
