Torque and Rotational Motion
Suppose an object experiences an initial torque of 15 N*m while lying down on a rough table. It stops spinning after making 1.5 revolutions. What is the work done by friction in bringing the object to rest?
A disk rotating counterclockwise slows down as friction acts at its edge; which statement correctly describes how friction affects its angular impulse?
A gymnast performs a somersault by tucking into a tight ball mid-air - how might variations in body density distribution challenge predictions from ideal rigid body dynamics models assuming uniform density?
What alteration in an experimental setup using a spinning disk could cause both an increase in torque and conservation of angular momentum without altering the applied force or mass distribution?
Which statement best describes the relationship between angular momentum, moment of inertia, and rotational speed of a rotating object?
If two ice skaters with identical mass start spinning with their arms extended and one pulls his arms closer while spinning, how do their final moments of inertia compare?
Which factor does not affect the torque applied to a rotating body?

If no net external torque acts on a spinning wheel, what will happen to its rotational motion over time?
A student applies two different forces at perpendicular distances from a pivot point; under what condition will these forces produce equal torques?
