Homework Statement
The flywheel of a gasoline engine is required to give up 550 of kinetic energy while its angular speed decreases from 720 to 400 .
What moment of inertia is required?
Homework Equations
K=(1/2)Iw^2
The Attempt at a Solution
K=550J
I'm not sure how to get the w value since the velocity is changing.
I tried:
550=(1/2)I(320)^2
then solving for I
I=0.0107
but this is not correct.
