A force of 22.04 N is applied tangentially to a wheel of radius 0.340 m and gives rise to an angular acceleration of 1.20 rad/s2. What is the moment of inertia of the wheel

the moment of inertia of the wheel is is 6.245 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given;

applied force, f = 22.04 N

radius of the wheel, r = 0.34 m

angular acceleration, a = 1.2 rad/s²

The moment of inertia of the wheel is calculated as;

Therefore, the moment of inertia of the wheel is is 6.245 kg.m²

explanation:

newton's third law, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
