Calculate how many revolutions the flywheel turns

In summary, the conversation is about solving a problem involving kinetic energy and total moment of inertia. The person asking for help has calculated these values, but is unsure of how to solve the problem. They have also included a broken image link in the relevant equations section, which is meant for listing applicable equations rather than part of the solution. The person offering help requests that the asker shows an attempt at a solution before receiving further assistance.

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.
 

1. How do you calculate the number of revolutions a flywheel turns?

To calculate the number of revolutions a flywheel turns, you need to know the diameter of the flywheel and the distance it travels. Then, divide the distance by the circumference of the flywheel to get the number of revolutions.

2. What is the formula for calculating the number of revolutions a flywheel turns?

The formula for calculating the number of revolutions a flywheel turns is: revolutions = distance / circumference.

3. What is the circumference of a flywheel?

The circumference of a flywheel can be calculated by multiplying the diameter of the flywheel by pi (3.14).

4. Can you calculate the number of revolutions a flywheel turns without knowing its diameter?

No, the diameter of the flywheel is a crucial measurement needed to calculate the number of revolutions it turns.

5. How can knowing the number of revolutions a flywheel turns be useful?

Knowing the number of revolutions a flywheel turns can be useful in various applications, such as determining the speed or distance a vehicle travels or the energy output of a machine.
