Question 25

A friction brake brings a spinning exercise-bike flywheel to rest. The flywheel, brake and surrounding air are treated as a closed system. All of the energy initially in the kinetic energy store of the flywheel is transferred to the three thermal energy stores shown.

Thermal energy store that increasesIncrease in energy
brake pad420 J
flywheel300 J
surrounding air180 J

What fraction of the initial energy in the kinetic energy store of the flywheel is transferred to the thermal energy store of the flywheel?
