A disk with a rotational inertia of 2.0 kg m2 and a radius of 1.6 m is free to rotate about a frictionless axis perpendicular to the disk's face and passing through its center. A force of 5.0 N is applied tangentially to the rim of the disk. What is the angular acceleration of the disk as a result of this applied force? a) 4.0 rad/s2
b) 1.0 rad/s2
c) 2.0 rad/s2
d) 0.40 rad/s2
e) 0.80 rad/s2

a) 4.0 rad/s2

Explanation:

       τ = I  * α (1)

        where τ is the net external torque applied, I is the rotational inertia

       of  the body with respect to the axis of rotation, and α is the angular

       acceleration caused by the torque.

       where τ = external net torque applied by Fnet, r is the distance    

       between the axis of rotation and the line of Fnet, and θ is the

      angle between both vectors.

      In this particular case, as Fnet  is applied tangentially to the disk, Fnet

     and r are perpendicular each other.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
