Torque and Rotational Motion
What form of energy is primarily involved when a body is rotating about a fixed axis?
In an experiment where a wheel is rotating freely on a fixed axis, what effect would applying a constant force tangentially at its rim have compared to applying it closer to its axis?
What instrument is typically used to measure the magnitude of a force?
How does increasing radius affect torque if all other factors remain unchanged?
When a figure skater pulls in her arms, what happens to her speed of rotation?
What unit is commonly used to measure torque?
If a person applies a force perpendicularly to a wrench, where along the wrench will they be able to produce the greatest torque?

How would a reduction in friction levels between a rotating tabletop disk and its surface support change the rotational dynamics when an external torque is applied?
A solid disk and a hoop of the same mass and radius are both released from rest at the top of an inclined plane; which will reach the bottom first?
Two identical objects are in space far from other masses; if one object doubles its mass without changing their separation distance, what happens to the gravitational force it exerts on the other object?
