Question

a solid sphere and a hollow sphere with equal mass are rotated about an axis through their centers. both spheres experience equal torque. which sphere will reach a speed of 10 rad/s first? Explain your answer.​

Answer 1

Solid sphere

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given situation, the solid sphere would contain the less moment of inertia because it would carry large mass that closed to the axis of rotation

Also if there is a less moment of inertia so there would be high angular acceleration under a torque

α = τ/I

So the solid sphere would reach a speed of 10 rad/s first
