Why moment of inertia is not necessarily constant for a constant mass?

According to Newton, an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. He makes no qualification as to linear or rotational motion.


What is torque and state the conditions of rotational equilibrium?

Torque is analogous to force. As Force produces a change in the state of linear motion of a body, Torque produces a change in the state of rotational motion of a body. The unit is newton meter (Nm) and the symbol is tau (τ) For rotational equilibrium, the algebraic sum of the torques acting on a body must be zero. ie. Στ=0


Can small force exert greater torque?

Not exactly,torque is the force that affects rotational motion; the greater the torque, the greater the change in rotational motion. It is always specified with regard to the axis of rotation.


What is the cause and the outcome of rotational motion?

The cause of rotational motion is a force towards a fixed point called centre of curvature. The outcome of rotational motion is the tendency of the rotating body to move radially- (eg) outward shifting of objects in a car as it takes a curved path.


Uniform linear motion vs uniform circular motion?

Linear motion goes in a straight line (apply laws of physics: a body in motion will stay in motion unless otherwise impeded, most often by some type of friction or another body). Circular motion (or non-linear motion) involves revolutions and creates centrifigal force (measured in G's if you're in the air force)

Does a pulley convert linear force to a rotational motion?

YES


How a body gets rotational and linear motions in space?

Linear motion occurs when a force acts through the center of gravity of a body. Rotational motion arises due to a force applied anywhere else on the body.


How is a pulley important?

Pulleys are used to change the direction of an applied force, transmit rotational motion, or realize a mechanical advantage in either a linear or rotational system of motion.


Which force is associated with rotational motion?

Two forces associated with rotational motion are centripetal force and centrifugal force.


What forces are associated with rotational motion?

Centrifugal force and centripetal force are associated with rotational motion. Centrifugal force draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. Centripetal force is usually the cause of circular motion. Answer2: The curl force is associated with rotational motion, F =cDelxP = 1RxP cp/r sin(P) = 1RxP ma sin(P). Rotational motion is a vector and the rotational force is a vector, 1RxP.

What is the force that pulls an object away from the axis when it is in rotational motion?

it's centrifugal force..

The outward force of rotational motion is?

There is no outward force of rotational motion. It is a force that is applied inward, towards the center of the circle that the object is traveling around. This is called centripetal force.The perceived outward force, also known as centrifugal force, is actually a reaction force to the inward centripetal force, and is a consequence of Newton's third law of motion - "To every force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force."


If the net force on an object is zero is the net torque zero?

Yes. If an object is at rest or in a linear motion state at constant speed, the net force applied onto the object is zero.
