1. For the solid sphere, we can use the formula:
$$ I = \frac{2}{5}MR^2 $$ $$ \alpha = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} $$
where:
- I is the moment of inertia of the sphere
- M is the mass of the sphere
- R is the radius of the sphere
Then, the torque required to stop the sphere can be calculated using:
$$ \tau = I \alpha $$
2. The angular momentum of the disc is given by:
$$ L = I\omega $$
We can calculate the moment of inertia of the disc using the formula:
$$I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$$
where:
- M is the mass of the disc
- R is the radius of the disc
Thus, we have :
$$L= \frac {1} {2}MR^2 \times \omega $$
3. The angular momentum of the particle is given by:
$$ L = mvr $$
where:

where:
- m1 and m2 are the masses of the two particles
- r1 and r2 are the distances of the particles from the center of mass
5. The kinetic energy of the flywheel is given by:
$$ K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$$
where:
- I is the moment of inertia of the flywheel
- ω is the angular velocity of the flywheel
To calculate the moment of inertia of the flywheel, we can use the formula:
$$ I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2$$
where:
- M is the mass of the flywheel
- R is the radius of the flywheel
Hence, the kinetic energy becomes:
$$ K=\frac {1} {2}MR^2 \omega^2 $$
