A 5.00 kg object has a moment of inertia of 1.20 kg m². What torque is needed to give the object an angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s²? A) 2.4 N·m B) 2.6 N·m C) 2.8 N·m D) 3.0 N·m E) 3.2 N·m

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The torque required can be calculated using the formula τ = Iα, where τ is the torque, I is the moment of inertia, and α is the angular acceleration. Substituting the given values, τ = 1.20 kg·m^2 * 2.0 rad/s^2 = 2.4 N·m.
