Q1:
A disk starts from rest and rotates around a fixed axis, subject to a constant net torque.
The work done by the torque during the second 5 s is:

A. the same as the work done during the first 5 s

B. twice as much as the work done during the first 5 s
C. half as much as the work done during the first 5 s
D. three times as much as the work done during the first 5 s
E. one-fourth as much as the work done during the first 5 s

Q2:
A thin circular hoop of mass 1.0 kg and radius 2.0m is rotating about an axis through
its center and perpendicular to its plane. It is slowing down at the rate of 7.0 rad/s2.
The net torque acting on it is:
Ans:
τ = Iα = mr 2 α = 1 × 22 × 7 = 28 N. m

Q3:
A disk has a rotational inertia of 6.0 kg m2 and a constant acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2. If
it starts from rest the work done during the first 5.0 s by the net torque action on it is:
