Mass moment of inertia of a flywheel?

define moment of inertia§ I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the center of rotation. The moment of inertia is the measure of resistance to torque applied on a spinning object (i.e. the higher the moment of inertia, the slower it will spin after being applied a given force).


What are the effects of nandi resistance?

loss of lives mass destruction of properties loss of independences


What is the stator resistance per phase of 0.25 hp 3 phase TEFC motor where supply is at 50 Hz and 415 VAC?

The resistance is decided by the designer. In principle the stator could have zero resistance. The actual resistance depends on how efficient the motor is required to be. Efficiency has to be traded against the mass and cost of the motor, because lower resistance for greater efficiency requires thicker, heavier copper wire. In practical designs, higher-powered motors are usually made more efficient in order to reduce the energy wasted in the resistance. For low-powered motors it isn't worth it because they don't waste much energy anyway.


What year was mass production invented?

Mass production has always been around in one way or another. In ancient times, the Chinese mass produced crossbows. Mass production as we think of it today, started at the Ford company in 1908.


Moment of inertia and torsional vibrations?

in torsional vibrations moment of inertia is a very important determining factor. it is a quantitative measure of the resistance of an object to torsion. it is synonymous to mass in displacement systems. the greater the moment of inertia the lesser the degree of torsional vibrations and vice versa. moment of inertia relates torsional vibrations to the geometry of the part considered irrespective of its composing material and its strength.

Unit for a measure of resistance to a change of motion?

The inertia. This is directly related to the object's mass.


Meaning of definition of volume and mass?

Volume is the size of a solid and mass is the quantitative measure of inertia, or the resistance of a body to a change in motion.

Is the mass of an object defined as the amount of substance in it?

Not exactly, as technically the mass of an object is a measure of its inertia, or resistance to change in state of motion or rest.


What is the measure of a body's resistance to acceleration?

Mass measures the body's resistance to acceleration.


What is similar between inertial mass and gravitational mass?

Inertial mass is a quantitative measure of an object's resistance to the change of its speed. Gravitational mass is the property of the mass of an object that produces a gravitational field in the space surrounding the object.

How mass and weight measure?

Weight is the pull of gravity on a mass, it is measured in a gravity field using a weighing machine (bathroom scales are an example) Mass is an intrinsic property of matter, it is a measure of an object's resistance to acceleration (a change in its state of motion) when a force is applied.


What determines the extent of resistance to a change of motion?

The extent of resistance to a change of motion is determined by an objects mass. The mass of the object is measured in kilograms.


Does mass affect inertia?

inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.


How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?

Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
