1. Which of the following best describes torque?
A linear force causing acceleration.
The rotational equivalent of force.
The resistance to rotational motion.
The rate of change of linear momentum.
2. Angular momentum is conserved when:
The net external force is zero.
The net external torque is zero.
The object is at rest.
The object is moving at a constant linear velocity.
1. Torque is calculated by multiplying the force applied by the .
2. The SI unit for torque is the .
3. Angular momentum depends on an object's moment of inertia and its .
1. A mechanic uses a torque wrench to tighten a bolt. The wrench is 0.30 meters long, and the mechanic applies a force of 50 N at the end of the wrench, perpendicular to its handle. Calculate the torque applied to the bolt.
