A disk is initially moving to the right on a frictionless surface and not rotating. Two rockets
Question:
A disk is initially moving to the right on a frictionless surface and not rotating. Two rockets on opposite sides of the disk fire. beginning simultaneously, for 10 s. The rockets provide the same magnitude of force as each other; the rockets also each provide the same magnitude of force throughout the 10 s firing.
(a) Does the disk's angular velocity increase, decrease, or remain the saine during the 10 s firing? Briefly justify your answer.
(b) Does the disk's angular acceleration increase, decrease, or remain the same during the 10 s firing? Briefly justify your answer.
(c) Does the linear velocity of the disk's center of mass increase, decrease, or remain the same during the 10 s firing? Briefly justify your answer.
(d) Does the linear acceleration of the disk's center of mass increase, decrease, or remain the same during the 10 s firing? Brief justify your answer.
