A yoyo composed of an axle of diameter 1cm, is connected to two disks of diameter 6.5cm, and falls from rest. The string looped around the axle unwinds as it falls, and the body of the yoyo spins in a clockwise direction about its centre of mass with a tangential acceleration of 2 m/s2. a) Derive the equation for the tangential velocity v in terms of time t. b) Calculate the rotational acceleration of the yoyo to 3 significant figures. Indicate the direction as either clockwise or anticlockwise. c) Derive the equation for the rotational velocity ω in terms of time t given that the initial velocity is 0.5 rad/s. d) Calculate the total angular displacement the yoyo travels given that the yoyo string is 5m long.

Question

Must answer all the four questions. Otherwise dont attempt it.i will dislike.

A yoyo composed of an axle of diameter 1cm, is connected to two disks of diameter 6.5cm, and falls from rest. The string looped around the axle unwinds as it falls, and the body of the yoyo spins in a clockwise direction about its centre of mass with a tangential acceleration of 2 m/s2.

a) Derive the equation for the tangential velocity v in terms of time t.

b) Calculate the rotational acceleration of the yoyo to 3 significant figures. Indicate the direction as either clockwise
or anticlockwise.

c) Derive the equation for the rotational velocity ω in terms of time t given that the initial velocity is 0.5 rad/s.

d) Calculate the total angular displacement the yoyo travels given that the yoyo string is 5m long.
