    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Ok, centers of mass will move away at the same speed. The push at the edge will make the spinning one rotate less, the not spinning one rotate more. Thank you.

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Then, in the case of the two wheels (the spinning one and the not spinning one), with the centers moving according to F=mA , would each of the ends (on the same side) move at the same speed?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Even if i push far away off the center of mass? Wouldn't that be a rotation of the axis?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    I understand that. But let me give another example: two parallel bycicle wheels (only one spinning, the same repulsive force as in the previous example). What means then stability if they move away at the same speed?

    Thanks, good night!

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Let's say each pipe is 1 meter long. They are lying parallel. One pipe is spinning around the direction of its length. At the end of each pipe there is some kind of switchable magnet. So, a repulsive force is switched on. The pipes' ends would get apart, but for the spinning one, that means...

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Yes, two lying parallel pipes, but only one is spinning. The repulsive force being applied between them at the extremity of the pipes. I can imagine the pipes getting apart, but the pipe at rest moving with a greater speed that the pipe that is spinning. Is this correct?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    But if the force is applied at the end, wouldn't that change the plane of rotation and therefore wouldn't the spinning pipe offer more resistance to movement?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Like two pipes laying side by side (one of them is spinning) and the repulsive force being applied at the end. Would they get apart at the same speed then?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Let's imagine the spinning body is a cylinder and the repulsive force is applied at one extremity? Then, would there be a rotational change?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    But... Doesn't the spinning body offer resistance to change its axis of rotation?

    Dumb question about inertia and rotational inertia

    Consider two bodies, A and B, of equal mass set at a short distance. Body A is spinning and body B is at rest. Then, through some kind of electromagnetic device, a strong repulsive force is established between them. Will both be displaced at the same speed?
