  10. Review of Lecture 20 • Introduced concept of Angular Momentum • Conservation of Angular Momentum • With no external torques acting on a system, the angular momentum of the system is conserved. • Vector Cross products

  11. Review of Angular Motion • We know equations of motion for angular motion • We know torques cause angular acceleration • Objects can have rotational kinetic energy • And angular momentum • So why the cross product?

  12. Torque and the Cross Product • When we first introduced torque as the product of the radius and the perpendicular component of the Force, we were only interested in the magnitude of the torque! • Magnitude given by RFsinθ…same as cross product FROM LECTURE 19

  13. Torque and the Cross Product • However, we since learned that • And we know that angular acceleration points in direction of axis of rotation… so Torque must as well! • Torque is cross product of R,F FROM LECTURE 19

  14. Angular Momentum of a Particle • We have already defined angular momentum as • But this definition is for objects rotating with some angular velocity and moment of inertia around an axis of rotation. • More general, alternate, definition:

  15. Equivalence of our two definitions • Suppose we have a mass rotating around an axis • Use cross product y x m=2kg 2m

  16. Equivalence of our two definitions • Suppose we have a mass rotating around an axis • Use y x m=2kg 2m

  17. So why use cross product? • Cross products are messy…why would we ever use them, instead of the simpler • Because the cross product allows us to determine the angular momentum of, or torque on, objects which are not necessarily moving with constant, or even circular motion!

  18. Example • Calculate the angular momentum (about the origin) of the rock of mass m dropped from rest off the cliff. d (0,0)

  19. Example • What Torque is exerted (about the origin) on the rock? d (0,0)

  20. Relationship of torque to angular momentum • When we discussed linear momentum, we revised Newton’s 2nd Law to state • Similarly, we can write an expression for net torque in terms of angular momentum • Double check with our falling rock:

  21. Newton’s 2nd Law: Angular Form • The vector sum of all of the torques acting on a particle, object, or system, is equal to the time rate of change of the angular momentum of the particle, object or system.

  22. Conservation of Angular Momentum • We used the revised expression for conservation of linear momentum to argue that if there is no net external force on a system or object, then the momentum of the system or object is conserved. • Similarly: • If the net external torque acting on a system of object is zero, then the angular momentum of that object will remain constant. L constant!

  23. Conservation of Momentum

  24. Does this make sense? • What is happening? • What do we need to know? • System= Container + Skinner

  25. Moments of Inertia • Skinner=point mass • Shipping Container 2.5m 2.5m 12m Mass=3,500kg

  26. σ Container • Determine surface mass density σ • Divide into 6 slabs • Total Mass = 3500kgs 2.5m 2.5m 12m

  27. I Container • Divide into 6 slabs • Top & Bottom:

  28. Ends • Use parallel axis theorem h=6m

  29. Sides • Use parallel axis theorem

  30. Conservation of Momentum • Skinner seems to be making one rotation every 2 seconds.

  31. Finally • In the clip, it takes about 20 seconds to turn the container 90 degrees.
