Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 57GP
A passenger bus in Zurich, Switzerland, derived its motive power from the energy stored in a large flywheel. Whenever the bus was stopped at a station, the wheel was brought up to speed with the use of an electric motor that could then be attached to the electric power lines. The flywheel was a solid cylinder with a mass of 1000 kg and a diameter of 1.80 m; its top angular speed was 3000 rev/min. At this angular speed, what was the kinetic energy of the flywheel?
