A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating flywheel with a radius of 2.25 m and a mass of 550 kg. The flywheel can be considered as a uniform thin cylinder. Before a trip, the flywheel is attached to an electric motor, which brings the flywheel's rotational speed up to 4600 rev/min. What is the kinetic energy stored in the flywheel? For this park i got 161525033 J and this was correct but I can't get part B which is.. B.) If the flywheel is to supply energy to the car as would a 20-hp motor, find the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought back up to speed.
