Two objects, a ring and a disk, both with equal mass and radii. Each is rotating about an axis through its center, as shown. Which has the greatest rotational inertia, I, a uniform disk or a ring?
A. They have the same I, since they both have the same mass and radius
B. The disk
C. The ring
C. The ring
from the axis of rotation than the solid disk, so it has a greater rotational inertia. The ring has more of its mass distributed further
