Commercially-available hybrid vehicles, such as the toyota prius, use electrical batteries to store energy for later use. however, formula one racecars have used a flywheel to store energy. when the car applies its brakes, translational kinetic energy of the car is converted to rotational kinetic energy of a large wheel; later, when the driver wants extra power, the wheel can be coupled to the drivetrain of the car, using that kinetic energy to supplement the power from the engine. the “flybrid” hybrid system uses a 5 kg wheel with a radius of 12 cm. when this system is engaged, it can provide an extra 60 kw of power to the car for 7 seconds.(a) how much energy does this system store? (b) at what angular velocity must the wheel spin to store this much energy? convert your answer to revolutions per minute. does this result surprise you? (c) what is the centripetal acceleration of a point on the edge of this wheel? can you think of any engineering or safety challenges in building these systems?

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)

Ascientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different colors reflecting off the surface, making it look rainbow-like (an effect known as iridescence). she aims a spectrometer at a particular spot and measures the wavelength to be 750 nm (in air). the index of refraction of water is 1.3
