Last Lecture • Everything you need to know about dynamics of rotation • Today • Pendulums and Kinetic Energy of rotation • Important Concepts • Equations for angular motion are mostly identical to those for linear motion with the names of the variables changed. • Kinetic energy of rotation adds a new term to the same energy equation, it does not add a new equation. • Kinetic energy can be simply written as a linear term and a rotational term 8.01L IAP 2007
Important Reminders • Note that tutors have both assigned and open sessions this week. See web for schedule • Mastering Physics due tomorrow at 10pm. • Experiment in class on Thursday. • Note that if you do NOT do the necessary calculations in advance, there is a good chance that you will NOT be able to finish the experiment in time. • Problems-solving in recitation this Friday. • Pset due this Friday at 4:30pm. 8.01L IAP 2007
Right-Hand-Rule Review (by request) • Except for the gyroscope, all 8.01L problems can be solved without using R-H-R, use CW/CCW instead. • However, many problems in 8.02 require R-H-R • The vector for any angular quantity (, , , , J) points along the axis with the direction given by: • Fingers curl in direction of , , , , J, thumb points in the direction of the vector • Cross-product Right-Hand-Rule: Fingers point along vector A, curl fingers to point along vector B, thumb points in direction C. 8.01L IAP 2007
Pendulums • Simple pendulum: Small mass at the end of a string • Period is where l is the length from the pivot to the center of the object. • Physical pendulum: More complex object rotating about any pivot • Period is where l is the distance from the pivot to the center of mass of the object, M is the total mass, and I is the moment of inertia around the pivot. 8.01L IAP 2007
d c.m. Axis 1 Parallel Axis Theorum • Very simple way to find moment of inertia for a large number of strange axis locations. • I1 = Ic.m. + Md2 where M is the total mass. 8.01L IAP 2007
Kinetic Energy with Rotation • Adds a new term not a new equation! • Rotation around any fixed pivot: • Moving and rotating: 8.01L IAP 2007
Everything you need to know for Linear & Rotational Dynamics • This is true for anyfixed axis and for an axis through the center of mass, even if the object moves or accelerates. • Rolling without slipping: • Friction does NOT do work! • Rolling with slipping: • Friction does work, usually negative. • Rarely solvable without using force and torque equations! 8.01L IAP 2007
