1.

The equation for the angular velocity with constant angular acceleration is:

w = constant

b)

w= w0 + α . t

c)

w= w0 +α . θ

2.

The rotational kinetic energy is proportional to the moment of inertia

a)

True

b)

False

3.

If we know the moment of inertia of a body of mass M about an axis through its center of mass (Icm), we can

calculate the moment of inertia about any other axis parallel to the original one but displaced

from it by a distance d (Ip) by using the equation:

Ip = Icm - M d²

b)

Ip = Icm + M

c)

Ip = Icm + M d²
