I need to do a practical about a yoyo.
We made a video (somebody keeps te jojo from teh ground a certain height and let it fall, after a certain time it doesn't move anymore and stays at the bottom) in which you can see the motion and with a programma we can see the falling speed etc. But we can't measure the rotation speed, we need to derive it:
I found out that the energy comparison=
m*g*h = 1/2*m*v^2 + Rotational kinetic energy
normally rotational kinetic energy = 1/2 * I * w^2
But our teachers says that this is the comparison for a cylinder, I need to derive a comparison myself, it should be possible with a integral calculus.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
