High School Does the mass of a wheel affect the length of time that it spins on an axis?
We didn't take into consideration that the same initial force on both wheels would cause them to have a different initial speeds due to their mass difference. We made an assumption that the same force would initiate the same speed for both wheels. So I suppose I will have to ask her what we... -

High School Does the mass of a wheel affect the length of time that it spins on an axis?
A friend and I somehow got on this odd topic and we disagree on the answer. Here's the scenario we were thinking of. If we had 2 wheels that had the same physical dimensions of diameter and width, and the only difference was a considerable difference in mass, would one wheel spin longer on an...
