To find the moment of inertia of the flywheel, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between work done and kinetic energy The work done on the flywheel is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. We know that the flywheel gives up 300 J of kinetic energy. ### Step 2: Write the equation for kinetic energy The kinetic energy (KE) of a rotating object is given by the formula: \[ ...
