1. Rotational motion is impossible without an external force.

2. As the distance between an object's mass concentration and its axis of rotation increases, its rotational
inertia increases.
3. All parts of a rotating wheel must have the same angular velocity.
4. If the angular velocity of an object is zero at some instant, the net torque on the object
must be zero at that instant.
