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 ststem 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. A) Calculate the frequency for cylinder s motion? B) Calculate angular speed in rad/s? C)Calculate moment of inertia of the cylinder? D) Calculate the angular acceleration?

A pendulum of length l with a ball of mass m is raised 90◦ clockwise from its hanging position and released. A block of mass 2m rests on a frictionless surface at the pendulum’s hanging position so that it is struck just as the pendulum reaches its lowest point. The two objects collide elastically and the pendulum rebounds, swinging back up to an angle θ clockwise from the vertical. What is the angle θ, and what is the speed of the block after the collision?

An empty parallel plate capacitor is connected between the
terminals of a 10.7-V
battery and charged up. The capacitor is then disconnected from the
battery, and the spacing between the capacitor plates is
doubled.
As a result of this change, what is the new voltage between the
plates of the capacitor?

An explosion aboard a stationary spacecraft breaks it into 3 well-defined and identifiable pieces. From a space station you capture a video of the explosion. A 2500-kg piece flies off at 200 m/s in the –x-direction (as seen on the video monitor), a 1500-kg piece moves away at 220 m/s at an angle of 34° above the +x axis. The third piece you know to be 1800 kg but its path cannot be seen on the video. You want to know which way it’s headed in case it moves toward another space station. What is the velocity of this third fragment? Assume all the pieces lie in the same (xy) plane.
