Chapter 21 Angular Momentum
Definitions • P = period in seconds (sec) • f = frequency in Hertz (Hz or rev/sec) • w = angular speed (rad/sec) • P=1/f • w = 2 p f
I = Rotational Inertia • An object rotating about an axis tends to remain rotating unless interfered with by some external influence. • This influence is called torque. • Rotation adds stability to linear motion. • Examples: • spinning football • bicycle tires • Frisbee
The greater the distance between the bulk of an object's mass and its axis of rotation, the greater the rotational inertia. • Examples: • Tightrope walker • Inertia Bars • Ring and Disk on an Incline • Metronome
Conservation of Angular Momentum • angular momentum = rotational inertia ´ rotational velocity • L = I w • Newton's first law for rotating systems: • “A body will maintain its state of angular momentum unless acted upon by an unbalanced external torque.”
Direction of Motion Centripetal Type of Force Centrifugal Type of Force
Centripetal • …is applied by some object. • Centripetal means "center seeking". Centrifugal • …results from a natural tendency. • Centrifugal means "center fleeing". • This is a fictitious force. Why?
Examples Centripetal Type of Force CentrifugalType of Force • Bucket • Earth’s gravity • Road Friction • Hanger • Space Station Floor • Nature • Nature • Nature • Nature • Nature • water in bucket • moon’s orbit • car on circular path • coin on a hanger • jogging in a space station
Circular Motion • The linear speed is directly proportional to both rotational speed and radial distance. v = w r • What are two ways that you can increase your linear speed on a rotating platform? • Answers: • Move away from the rotation axis. • Have the platform spin faster.
Centripetal Acceleration • “Turning acceleration” ac = v2/r = w2 r • What are two ways that you can increase the “false gravity” in a spinning space station? • Answers: • Move away from the rotation axis. • Have the space station spin faster.

What if you ran in a spinning space station?Would you feel heavier or lighter or no different?
What if you ran the other way? You’d lose “weight”!
Project Two Update • We will now have meetings outside of class time to work on Project Two. • We will meet in room 315A for these meetings. Be sure to sign in when you arrive. • We will attempt to build 2 engines per team, rather than 1 for each person.
Project Two Update • Week 1 • Piston and Pressure Vessel Construction • Week 2 • Crankshaft and Flywheel Construction • Week 3 • Final Adjustments and Testing
Project Two Update • Take 3 minutes to select a meeting time for your team for this week. • Select an alternate time from the list below as well. Tuesday • 12:00 • 4:00 • 5:00 Wednesday • 2:30 • 3:30 • 4:30 • 5:30 Thursday • 11:00 • 12:00 • 5:00 Friday • 12:00 • 1:00 • 2:00 • 3:00 • 4:00
Examples: • 1. ice skater spin • 2. cat dropped on back • 3. Diving • 4. Collapsing Stars (neutron stars)
Torque • Torque is the product of the force and lever-arm distance, which tends to produce rotation. • Torque = force ´ lever arm • Examples: • wrenches • see-saws
Center of Mass • The center of mass of an object is the average position of mass. • Objects tend to rotate about their center of mass. • Examples: • Meter stick • Map of Texas • Rotating Hammer • Rolling Double-Cone
Stability • For stability center of gravity must be over area of support. • Examples: • Tower of Pisa • Touching toes with back to wall • Meter stick over the edge
Circular Motion • Linear speed - the distance moved per unit time. Also called simply speed. • Rotational speed - the number of rotations or revolutions per unit time. • Rotational speed is often measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
