A yo-yo is released from your hand with the string wrapped around your figure. If you hold your hand still, the acceleration of the yo-yo us -

A

downward, much greater than `g`

B

downward, much less than `g`

C

upward, much less than `g`

D

upward, much greater than `g`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`mg - T = ma` …..(1)
`TR = I alpha rArr TR = I (a)/( R)`
`T = (I a)/(R^(2))` ….(2)
From (1) and (2)
`mg - (Ia)/(R^(2)) = ma rArr a = (g)/(1 + (I)/(mR^(2)))`.

A yo-yo has mass M 0.550 kg, axle radius R_(0) = 3.2 mm , and rotational inertia l = 3.4 xx 10^(-4) kg m^(2) about its rotation axis. Assume that the string has negligible mass and thickness. (a) What is the linear acceleration of the yo-yo as it rolls down the string from rest?

Why does the skin of your finger shrink when you keep your hand in water (soap solution) for a long time?

A disc of mass M has a light, thin string wrapped several times around its circumference. The free end of string is attaced to the ceiling and the disc is released from rest. Find the acceleration of the disc and the tension in the string.

Figure shows three identical yo-yos initially at rest on a horizontal surface. For each yo-yo the string is pulled In the direction shown. In each case there is sufficient friction for the yo-yo to roll without slipping. Draw the free-body diagram for each yo-yo in what direction will each yo-yo rotate?
