Question 1.
What is the formula for torque?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how distance, force, and angle contribute.
Question 2.
Define moment of inertia.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how mass affects rotation.
3Question 3.
What is torque dependent on?
- Force only
- Distance only
- Force, distance, and angle
Show hintHide hint
Remember the formula τ = rF sin(θ).
4Question 4.
True or False: The moment of inertia decreases as mass moves further from the axis.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how mass distribution works.
Question 5.
A rotating disc has a moment of inertia of 2 kg·m² and rotates with an angular velocity of 3 rad/s. Calculate its angular momentum.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to use the angular momentum formula.
Question 6.
You have two objects: one with mass concentrated at the center and another with mass distributed along the edge. Which object will require more torque to achieve the same angular acceleration?
Show hintHide hint
