Question

Each of the Yo-Yo's below has a mass of 5g.

Which Yo-Yo shape would have a higher Rotational Inertia? Why?

Since all the Yo-Yo's have the same mass, they have the same rotational inertia.

Imperial because the Yo-Yo's mass is closer to the Axis of Rotation

Butterfly because the Yo-Yo's mass is farther from the Axis of Rotation

Modified because the Yo-Yo's mass is evenly distributed.

Answer 1

Answer: Butterfly because the Yo-Yo's mass is farther from the Axis of Rotation
