The APsolute RecAP: Physics 1 Edition - Rotational Motion - Moment of Inertia and Torque
Description
What makes an object easy or difficult to rotate? Rotational inertia is a quantity that describes an object’s tendency to maintain its rotational motion about an axis. (1:02 ) Torque is equal to moment of inertia multiplied by the angular acceleration (1:44 ). Try opening a door by pushing it very close to the hinges. Feels silly right? (5:40 ) The episode ends by putting the brakes on a bicycle wheel (6:53 ).
The Question of the Day asks: (8:11 )
If the radius and mass of a ball are both doubled, how does the moment of inertia change?
