To understand why a solid sphere has a smaller moment of inertia than a hollow cylinder of the same mass and radius about an axis passing through their axes of symmetry, we can break down the explanation into several steps. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Moment of Inertia**: - The moment of inertia (I) is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its rotation. It is defined mathematically as: \[ I = \int r^2 \, dm ...
