Concept explainers
Two disks are cut from the same uniform board. The radius of disk B is twice the radius of the disk A. The disks can rotate around axes with negligible friction. Two very light battery-powered fans are attached to the disks, as shown in Figure Q9.11. When switched on, the fans exert equal forces on the disks. Which of the following correctly compares and explains the rotational accelerations of the disks after the fans are switched on?

Sketch the angular speed and the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the ball as functions of time. FIGURE P12.70arrow_forwardA particle moves 3.0 m along a circle of radius 1.5 m.
