A boxer delivers a hard blow to the chin of hisopponent. The inertia of the boxer's hand (withglove) and forearm is 3.0 kg, and the inertia of theopponent's head is 6.5 kg. You learned inneurobiology class about 10 J of extra internalenergy will render an opponent wobbly - kneed,and you guess that about half of the convertedenergy will end up in the opponent's head.Assuming a coefficient of restitution e = 0.20, withwhat speed does the boxer's fist have to contactthe opponent's head in order to deliver the punch?

Nm; 36-3 kW) 24. A centrifugal clutch has four blocks which slide radially in a spider keyed to the driving shaft and make contact with the internal cylindrical surface of a drum keyed to the driven shaft. When the clutch is at rest each block is pulled against a stop by a spring so as to leave a radial clearance of 6 mm between the block and the drum. The pull exerted by the spring is then 450 N and the mass centre of the block is 200 mm from the axis of the clutch. If the internal diameter of the drum is 500 mm, the mass of each block is 7 kg, the stiffness of each spring is 35 kN/m and the coefficient of friction between block and drum is 0-3, find the maximum power the clutch can transmit at 500 rev/min. (I. Mech. E.) (Ans.: 51.7 kW)
20. A regenerative braking system stores kinetic energy of a car so that it can be recovered when the vehicle resumes moving. One way to do this is to “store” the energy in a spinning flywheel. One such design uses a solid disk flywheel with moment of inertia 0.040 kg m2 and maximum rotation rate 45000 rpm. (a) What is the maximum energy storage? (b) In principle it could store the kinetic energy of a 1700 kg car moving at what speed before braking? (c) If this energy is used to start the car moving again in 10.0 s, what is the power output of the system?
