Calculate how many revolutions the flywheel turns

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around calculating the number of revolutions a flywheel turns, focusing on kinetic energy and moment of inertia. The user has calculated these values but lacks clarity on how to proceed with the problem-solving process. A broken image link was noted, which hindered the sharing of relevant equations. Participants emphasized the necessity of demonstrating an attempt at a solution to receive further assistance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of kinetic energy and moment of inertia concepts
  • Familiarity with rotational motion equations
  • Basic knowledge of physics problem-solving techniques
  • Ability to interpret and utilize course notes or textbooks
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the equations of rotational motion, specifically those related to flywheels
  • Learn how to calculate angular velocity and its relation to revolutions
  • Explore examples of similar physics problems involving rotational dynamics
  • Review the principles of energy conservation in rotational systems
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics and rotational dynamics, as well as educators seeking to guide students through problem-solving in these areas.

Homework Equations


I have calculated the kinetic energy and the total moment of inertia. https://www.physicsforums.com/file:///C:/Users/javad/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png

The Attempt at a Solution


I really don't know how to solve the problem. Hope someone can lead me on the right track.

Was there some initial rotational velocity or means to set the wheel rotating?

The image link you've placed in the relevant equations section is broken. It likely points to a location that is not publicly accessible. Note that the relevant equations section is for listing equations, typically from your course notes or textbook repertoire of equations, that you feel might be useful or applicable to solving problems of this type. It's not meant to hold part of the solution itself, or statements of what you've done.

You'll have to show an attempt at solution before help can be offered (your thread risks deletion for lack of effort). At least describe what you have tried or what approaches you've considered.
