Question 1

What is the angular displacement?

  • The rotation speed of an object
  • The angle an object has rotated
  • The axis of rotation

💡 Hint: Think about how angles are involved in rotation.

Question 2

True or False: Angular momentum is dependent on the mass of the rotating object.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the formula L = Iω.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A system of two gears with moments of inertia 3 kgm² and 4 kgm² respectively is connected. If the smaller gear spins at 5 rad/s, what will be the angular velocity of the larger gear?

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum.

Question 2

Design a gear mechanism that can effectively transmit torque from a motor to a wheel with specific gear ratios. Explain your rationale for the selected ratios.

💡 Hint: Consider how the gear ratio influences speed and torque in the system.
