Rotation in AP Physics C: Mechanics
What are the units for angular displacement?
A wheel with a moment of inertia of 2 kg·m² starts from rest and is subjected to a constant torque of 10 N·m. What is the angular velocity of the wheel after it has rotated through 5 radians?
A disk of moment of inertia and angular velocity is dropped onto an identical, stationary disk. What is the final angular velocity of the combined system?
A seesaw is balanced with two people sitting on opposite ends. If a heavier person sits closer to the center, how does this affect the torque required to maintain equilibrium?
A rotating object has an angular velocity that changes with time according to the equation . What is the angular acceleration at t = 2 seconds?
What is the rotational equivalent of force that causes objects to rotate?
A wheel rotates with a constant angular acceleration of 3 rad/s². If its initial angular velocity is 2 rad/s, what is its angular velocity after 4 seconds?
