Analytically proving that the yo-yo rolls to the right (angular kinematics) [closed]
Assume that the yoyo is always rolling without slipping.
Physical experiments shows that the yoyo would roll to the right.
I'm aware of some ways to show this without analytically solving the system (...

Can one force both rotate a body around an axis and also cause translation?
If a solid cylinder is rolling without slipping down an incline, and the force of friction is applied tangentially to the edge of the cylinder in the opposite direction as torque.
However, I do not ...

How to find force needed to lift two wheels off ground during cornering?
I'm attempting to calculate the maximum velocity at which I can safely drive around a corner.
One scenario I'm considering is where all four wheels maintain contact with the ground, but slips. The ...

What is the purpose of torque in projectile motion?
Torque, $\tau$ is defined as:
$$\vec{{\tau}} = \vec{r}\times\vec{F}$$
Intuitively, it's the rotational effect of force. However, using the above definition of torque we can calculate the torque ...
