Moment of Inertia: Wheels Accelerated to 100 km/hr

AI Thread Summary
The moment of inertia of a wheel is determined by its mass distribution and geometry, not by its speed of rotation. When a vehicle accelerates to 100 km/hr and then the accelerator is released, the moment of inertia remains constant as it is independent of the vehicle's motion. Confusion arises regarding which geometric factors to consider in calculating the moment of inertia. The key factor is the mass distribution relative to the axis of rotation. Understanding these principles is essential for accurate calculations in dynamics.

what is the moment of inertia about the wheels , when the vehicle is accelerated upto 100 km/hr and the foot is lifted off the accelerator

Er.. the moment of inertial is not a function of the speed of rotation!

the moment of inertia is a a function of the geometry and the mass of the object, bt in this case i am confused , as in which geometry to consider??

This getting to be confusing. If you know that it is due to geometry, then why did you bring up the motion of the vehicle?

The "geometry" in question is the location of the mass distribution about the axis of rotation.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Is calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
