Given a bicycle wheel without the tire on it, string, a single known mass and other commonly available equipment, how would you find the rotational inertia of the wheel?
Learning Goal: I can
- ...extend the particle model be to a rigid-body model of an object.
- ...relate the rotational quantities (angular position, velocity, and acceleration) to linear quantities.
- ...understand what it means for angular momentum to be conserved and use it to predict the behavior of a system.
Today: To help in your final preparations for the test...
- Since I didn't get quizzes back to you as planned, here are the answers...or at least hints to them. :)
- A couple of you asked for help on the Free Response sample problems - here is the first one, and then the other two.
