Exercise 7
Wheel accelerated by a motor
Theory used: Work and power in rotationsRotational kinetic energyEquation of rotational motion about a fixed axis
A motor applies a constant torque of to a wheel, initially at rest, with moment of inertia about the axis; friction is negligible. Compute, after , the angular velocity, the kinetic energy of the wheel and the power delivered by the motor at that instant.
