    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    this is what I know, i need to use the change in the KE to find the final angular speed, and hence the angular deceleration, using the equations of angular motion and torque Important to show answer is negative, as result of deceleration The force providing the centripetal acceleration acts...

    sorry it meant to say Determine also the mean frictional torque causing the slowing down in the two minute stop.

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    when I did that I got the right answer so in part c do I use vmax=rωmax or do I use I=0.606mr2

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    okay well do I just divide by 2pi? because I thought you would do 16000X2pi/60

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    yes its given in revolutions per min, and I am unsure of how to change it from revolutions per min to radians per second once I do that I know how to do part b)

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    I have, I can't figure it out and by that I mean how do I change it to something I can use units wise

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    ive done it, and done part a, I am just getting confused on which equations I need to use for which parts.

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    so how do I change 48km/h into m/s? never mind I got it now!

    How Does a Glass Fibre Flywheel Store Kinetic Energy in Buses?

    the answer, Maximum kinetic energy = 1.42 MJ, is given in the question, when 30mph is used you get 7200000 which is also the wrong answer
