Question 1138902:  A flywheel is rotating at an angular velocity of 1,215 rev/min. When the power is disconnected, the speed decreases exponentially according to the equation 
v=voe^−nt 
. If its angular velocity decreases at a rate of 23% per minute, find its velocity (in rev/min) after 6.9 minutes.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! A flywheel is rotating at an angular velocity of 1,215 rev/min. When the power is disconnected, the speed decreases exponentially according to the equation 
v=voe^−nt 
. If its angular velocity decreases at a rate of 23% per minute, find its velocity (in rev/min) after 6.9 minutes. 
------------- 
After each minute its speed is 77% of the previous minute. 
-------- 
1215*0.77^6.9 
=~ 200.15 rpm
