1. Draw and label the force or forces acting on the yoyo as it falls.

2. Is there torque acting on the yoyo?

3a. Which way will it spin when it runs back up?

3b. When is the linear velocity the greatest?

3c. When is the rotational velocity the greatest?

3d. Is there a time when the linear velocity is zero?

3e. Is there a time when the rotational velocity is zero?

A yoyo is dropped and caught through a height of 1.25 m.

TENSION

FW

YES because the Tension and weight (FW) forces are offset.

CLOCKWISE

AT THE END OF THE STRING WHEN IT IS STILL FALLING

AT THE END OF THE STRING WHEN IT HAS JUST STOPPED FALLING

AT THE EXTREME ENDS OF THE TRAVEL

WHEN THE YO-YOIST IS HOLDING THE YOYO IN THE HAND
