5. A uniform disc of mass 0.25 kg and radius 0.15 m rotates about the
central axis with an initial angular velocity of 8.0 rads-1. Calculate:
a. the initial rotational kinetic energy of the disc.

rads-1 to 16 rads-1.

6. A stationary bicycle trainer has a flywheel with electronically controlled


resistance to simulate different cycling conditions. When the cyclist stops
pedalling, the flywheel comes to rest from an initial angular velocity of
180 rad s-1 in a time of 9.0 s. The moment of inertia of the flywheel is
0.070 kg m2 . Calculate:
(a). the resistive torque acting on the flywheel, assuming that it is
constant.
(b). the work done by the resistive torque in stopping the flywheel.
(c). the power that the cyclist needs to transfer to the flywheel to
maintain the constant angular velocity of 180 rad s-1 .
