A large yo-yo stands on a table. A rope wrapped around the yo-yo's axle is pulled horizontally to the right, with the rope coming off the yo-yo above the axle. In which direction does the yo-yo move?
The situation is repeated but with the rope coming off the yo-yo below the axle. If the rope is pulled to the right, which way will the yo-yo move now?
If the yo-yo's axle is half the radius of the yo-yo, and the yo-yo moves a distance L to the right when the rope is pulled from above the axle, how far does the end of the rope move?
