6. Drop to one quarter of its original value
Refer to the diagram shown below.
Let I = the moment of inertia of the wheel.
α = 0.81 rad/s², the angular acceleration
r = 0.33 m, the radius of the weel
F = 260 N, the applied tangential force
The applied torque is
T = F*r
= (260 N)*(0.33 m)
= 85.8 N-m
By definition,
T = I*α
Therefore,
I = T/α
= (85.8 N-m)/(0.81 rad/s²)
= 105.93 kg-m²
Answer: 105.93 kg-m²
<span>Space.Energy can pass through the space only by radiation. In space there is no matter, liquids or solids to pass energy. The sunlight passes through space and reach earth and other planets in the form of radiation. Radiation is the transmission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves which needs no medium.</span>
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
<em>Electric motor</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Energy</u></em> is the ability to do work. According to the law of conservation of energy,<em><u> energy can not be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another</u></em>.
- Changing energy from one form to another is done by devices we call <em><u>transducers. These are elements that convert energy from one form to another.</u></em>
- In this case, electrical motor is an example of a transducer that converts electrical energy to kinetic energy. <em><u>Electrical energy is supplied to a the motor which converts it to rotational energy or mechanical energy then to kinetic energy.</u></em>
