The rotational inertia of a wheel about its axle does not depend upon its:
A)diameter
B)mass
C)distribution of mass
D)speed of rotation
E)material composition

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rotational inertia of a wheel about its axle depends only on its mass and distribution of mass, as well as the distance between the axis of rotation and the mass distribution (i.e. the radius). The speed of rotation is not a factor in determining the rotational inertia.
