0. A regenerative braking system stores kinetic energy of a car so that it can be recovered when the vehicle resumes moving. One way to do this is to “store” the energy in a spinning flywheel. One such design uses a solid disk flywheel with moment of inertia 0.040 kg m2 and maximum rotation rate 45000 rpm. (a) What is the maximum energy storage? (b) In principle it could store the kinetic energy of a 1700 kg car moving at what speed before braking? (c) If this energy is used to start the car moving again in 10.0 s, what is the power output of the system?
