Given Solution: `aThe angular velocity of the axle and the angular velocity of the disk on the axle would be the same. However, the velocity would be different because they are of different distances from the center. In general, the axle will be moving at a slower speed(velocity) than a point on the outside of the disk. I am not sure if this is what you are asking. The speed of the falling object is the same as the speed of a point on the rim of the axle. The angular velocity of the axle is equal to the speed of a point on its rim divided by its radius: omega = v / r. The disk rotates with the axle so it has the same angular velocity. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `qIf the falling weight accelerates uniformly, does it follow that the rotating disk has a uniform angular acceleration? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: If the falling weight accelerates uniformly, it only makes sense that the disk will have a uniform angular acceleration as long as the radius of the disk remains constant. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `aGOOD STUDENT RESPONSE yes, because the angle of acceleration is proportional to the velocity of the disk with the radius(which is constant) as the constant of proportionality. And the velocity of the disk will be the same as the velocity of the falling weight which is dependent on the acceleration of the weight. ** If v changes at a uniform rate then since r is uniform, omega = v / r changes at a uniform rate. ** Principles of Physics and General College Physics Problem 8.28: Moment of inertia of bicycle wheel 66.7 cm diameter, mass 1.25 kg at rim and tire. The mass of the rim and tire is all located at about the same distance from the axis of rotation, so the rim and tire contribute m * r^2 to the total moment of inertia, where m is the mass and r the distance from the axis of rotation of the rim and tire. The distance r is half the diameter, or 1/2 * 66.7 cm = 33.4 cm = .334 m, and the mass is given as 1.25 kg, so the moment of inertia of rim and tire is I = m r^2 = 1.25 kg * (.334 m)^2 = 1.4 kg m^2. Why can the mass of the hub be ignored? The radius of the hub is less than 1/5 the radius of the tire; because its moment of inertia is m r^2, where r is its 'average' distance from the axis of rotation, its r^2 will be less than 1/25 as great as for the rim and tire. Even if the mass of the hub is comparable to that of the rim and tire, the 1/25 factor will make its contribution to the moment of inertia pretty much negligible. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): " Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: ********************************************* Question: `qIf the falling weight accelerates uniformly, does it follow that the rotating disk has a uniform angular acceleration?
