The angular momentum of a flywheel having a rotational inertia of 0.225 kg·m² about its central axis decreases from 9.10 to 0.960 kg·m²/s in 3.60 s.
(a) what is the magnitude of the average torque acting on the flywheel about its central axis during this period?
(b) assuming a constant angular acceleration, through what angle does the flywheel turn?
(c) how much work is done on the wheel?
(d) what is the magnitude of the average power done on the flywheel?

Part a)

Part b)

Part c)

Part d)

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that torque on the rotating wheel is given as

also we can write this in terms of angular momentum

so we have

Part b)

Angular displacement of the wheel at constant angular acceleration is given as

Part c)

Work done on the wheel is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the wheel

so we have

so we have

Part d)

Average power is defined as the rate of work done

so it is given as

c.the charges if the proton and electron and gravity
