Velocity and Rotational Speed of a Sliding Yo-Yo

Dot Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore the physics of a poorly designed yo-yo in this 11-minute video from Dot Physics. Analyze the motion of a solid metal disk sliding on ice while being pulled by a string. Calculate the final speed and angular velocity of the yo-yo using given parameters such as radius, mass, applied force, and distances traveled. Apply concepts of linear and rotational motion to solve this unique problem involving a frictionless surface and a non-rolling disk.
