Question

a solid sphere and a hollow sphere with equal mass are rotated about an axis through their centers. both spheres experience equal torque. which sphere will reach a speed of 10 rad/s first? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solid sphere

Explanation:

The solid sphere will have a lower moment of inertia as it carries more mass closer to the axis of rotation.

A lower moment of inertia results in a higher angular acceleration under a given torque.

α = τ/I
