To drive a typical car at 40 mph on a level road for one hour requires about 3.2 × 107 J of energy. Suppose we tried to store this much energy in a spinning, solid, uniform, cylindrical flywheel
A large flywheel cannot be spun too fast or it will fracture. If we used a flywheel of diameter 1.2 m and mass 400 kg, what angular speed would be required to store 3.2 × 107 J?
A) 3600 rad/s B) 940 rad/s C) 530 rad/s D) 5500 rad/s E) 1800 rad/s

The experimental observation(s) below that require(s) a quantum explanation for the photoelectric effect
a. is that more photoelectrons are emitted when the light frequency increases. b. is that the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is related linearly to the frequency of the light. c. is that every metal surface has a work function, a minimum amount of energy needed to free electrons. d. is that the stopping potential measures the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. e. are all of the above.
A +3.0-µC point charge is initially extremely far from a positive point charge Q
You find that it takes 41 J of work to bring the +3.0-µC charge to the point x = 3.0 mm, y = 0.0 mm and the point charge Q to the point x = -3.0 mm, y = 0.00 mm. What is Q? (k = …) A) 27 pC B) 9.1 µC C) 4.6 µC D) 55 nC
