Physics · SYSTEMS OF PARTICLES AND ROTATIONAL MOTION

हिन्दी

Why is a heavy flywheel with a large moment of inertia connected to the drive shaft of automobile and steam engines?

  1. To minimize the fuel consumption by eliminating rotational kinetic energy
  2. To decrease the rotational inertia so the engine can accelerate instantly
  3. To provide extra friction to stop the vehicle rapidly when brakes are applied
  4. To resist sudden fluctuations in vehicle speed and ensure a smooth ride

Correct answer · Option 4

To resist sudden fluctuations in vehicle speed and ensure a smooth ride

Explanation

Because of its large moment of inertia, the flywheel resists sudden increases or decreases of the vehicle speed, preventing jerky motions and ensuring a smooth ride.

Given below are two statements: Statement I: The kinetic energy of a body of moment of inertia \( I \) rotating with an angular velocity \( \omega \) about a fixed axis is given by \( K = \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 \). Statement II: The moment of inertia of a rotating rigid body changes if its angular velocity is doubled. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:→Given two vectors \( \mathbf{a} = 3\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 5\hat{k} \) and \( \mathbf{b} = -2\hat{i} + \hat{j} - 3\hat{k} \), the cross product \( \mathbf{a} \times \mathbf{b} \) is equal to:→Consider the following statements regarding rotational motion about a fixed axis: (A) Only those components of external torques that lie along the axis of rotation can cause the body to rotate about the axis. (B) Torques perpendicular to the fixed axis are balanced by the constraint forces exerted by the hinges/supports. (C) Forces parallel to the axis of rotation produce non-zero torque about that axis. (D) The rate of work done by an external torque \( \tau \) rotating a body with angular speed \( \omega \) is given by \( P = \tau \omega \).
