Confused by Unexpected Results: Acceleration & Moment of Inertia

[QUOTE="cal35182, post: 6417594, member: 683941"] Allow me to simplify my question: Regadless or what the shapes are, regardless of any expected values, Don't objects traveling down the ramp with higher Acceleration...If you plug that in, to solve for moment of Inertia,doesn't higher acceleration give you a LOWER number in front of MR^2? Let's say we are going down a ramp that 20 degrees. So g *sin θ =9.8 * sin (20°) = 3.352 So I will give you some different accelerations. A(x) = 2 m/s/s, compared to A(x) = 3 m/s/s ...Remember, we are solving 1 + I/MR^2 = g sin θ/Ax We are going to simplify that to 1 + X, IF I=X*MR^2 Okay So anyway, lol... 1+ X = 3.352 [g * sin θ]/ 3 [Ax] X = 0.117 1+ X = 3.352 / 2 X = 0.676See? That's my only question--Is Higher Acceleration supposed to give a LOWER coefficient for Moment of Inertia Because my teacher says otherwise Thank U [/QUOTE]
