Question

From their observations, Darcel and Chandra found that the speed of an object at the bottom of an incline depends on how the mass is distributed in the object. Now they consider the moments of inertia of the objects in the simulation, which are related to their mass distributions. Darcel asks Chandra what effect the moment of inertia has on the final speed. Which is the correct response?

Answer 1

Answer:

The larger the moment of inertia of the object, the slower it will be moving at the bottom of the incline

Explanation:

This is because Rotational kinetic energy varies proportionally to the moment oThe larger the moment of inertia of the object,therefore the slower it will be moving at the result is a slower speed
