Problem

Two uniform wheels, A and B, each have the same rotational kinetic energy. Wheel A rotates with an angular speed that is twice that of wheel B. Which of the following correctly compares their rotational inertias IAI_A and IBI_B? a) IA=IBI_A = I_B b) IA=12IBI_A = \tfrac{1}{2} I_B c) IA=14IBI_A = \tfrac{1}{4} I_B d) IA=4IBI_A = 4 I_B
