A group of students must conduct an experiment to determine how the location of an applied force on a classroom door affects the rotational motion of the door. The rotational inertia of the door about its hinges is known. The initial angular velocity of the door is zero. Plotational inertie het

Question 3 My Response The students conduct the experiment and gather data about the net torque exerted on the door and angular acceleration of the door for several trials. They create a graph of the door's angular acceleration as a function of the net torque and sketch a best-fit line through the data. How can the students analyze the data to determine the rotational inertia of the door about its hinges? Determine the slope of the best-fit line. Determine the inverse of the slope of the best-fit line. Determine the horizontal intercept of the best-fit line. Determine the vertical intercept of the best- fit line.
