A rotating flywheel can be used as a method to store energy. If it is required that such a device be able to store up to a maximum of 1.00 ×106J when rotating at 400 rad/s, what moment of inertia is required? a. 50 kg⋅m2b. 25 kg⋅m2c. 12.5 kg⋅m2d. 6.3 kg⋅m2

Answer:

[tex]I=12.5\ kg.m^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that

Stored energy ,[tex]E=1\times 10^6[/tex]

Angular speed ,[tex]\omega =400\ rad/s[/tex]

Lets take moment of inertia of the flywheel = I

As we know that stored energy in the flywheel is given as

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}\omega^2 I[/tex]

[tex]I=\dfrac{2\ttimes E}{\omega^2}[/tex]

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

[tex]I=\dfrac{2\times 1\times 10^6}{400^2}\ kg.m^2[/tex]

[tex]I=12.5\ kg.m^2[/tex]

Therefore the moment of inertia of the flywheel will be [tex]I=12.5\ kg.m^2[/tex]

The answer will be C.

[tex]I=12.5\ kg.m^2[/tex]
