Rotational Inertia (I) Recall: From Newton’s 2nd law of linear motion: Fnet = ma = m(v-vo)/t mass (m) = measure of inertia of an object. = measure of how difficult it is to change linear velocity (v) of an object. The larger the mass, the more difficult it is to change its velocity v. For rotation, moment of inertial or rotational inertia (I) = measure of how difficult it is to change angular velocity () of an object.
Rotational Inertia (I) • Rotational inertia (I) = measure of how difficult it is to change angular velocity () of an object. • Rotational inertia (I) – Also called moment of inertia: • Depends on mass, m. (I m). • Depends on square of radius of rotation (I r2) • Depends on how mass m is distributed. Same mass. Different radius. Which one easier to get to start rotating?
Rotational Inertia For a point object, I = mr2 Point object = one whose size is small c.f. radius r m r Units of I = kg-m2
Rotational Inertia For a point object, I = mr2 For many discrete point objects with different shapes rotated about the same axis, Total rotational inertia = sum of I for each object. Itotal = miri2 m1 r1
Rotational Inertia • For a point object, I = mr2 • For objects of comparable size to radius r, the moment of in inertia depends on distribution of mass.

Example m2 = 5 kg m1 = 3 kg Two solid spherical balls are joined together by a 4-meter long steel rod. If they are spun about a vertical axis passing through their center of mass, find the total rotational inertia. [Hint, treat the spinning balls as point objects with I = mR2].
Comment on axes and sign(i.e. what is positive and negative) Whenever we talk about rotation, it is implied that there is a rotation “axis”. This is usually called the “z” axis (we usually omit the z subscript for simplicity). Counter-clockwise (increasing q) is usuallycalled positive. Clockwise (decreasing q) is usuallycalled negative. +w z

v m r Rotational Kinetic Energy Mass m in rotational motion. Its rotational inertia, I = mr2 Since it is moving, it has kinetic energy. K = ½ mv2 From v = r, K = ½ mr22 = ½ (mr2) 2 = ½I2
Kinetic Energy of Rotating Disk Consider a disk with radius R and mass M, spinning with angular frequency w • Each “piece” of disk has speed vi=wri • Each “piece” has kinetic energy • Ki = ½ mi v2 • = ½ miw2 ri2 • Combine all the pieces • SKi = S ½ miw2 ri2 • = ½ (S mi ri2) w2 • = ½ I w2 mi ri
Rotational Kinetic Energy (Krot) A rigid object spinning about a fixed axis (pure rotational motion) has rotational kinetic energy Krot = ½I2 [eg, spinning wheel] If the rigid object is moving (sliding) with velocity v without any spin (ie pure translational motion), it has only translational kinetic energy K = ½ mv2 [eg, skidding wheel]
Rotational Kinetic Energy (Krot) If the rigid object is spinning with angular velocity while its center of mass moves linearly with velocity vcm, it has both translational and rotational kinetic energy. Its total kinetic energy will be Ktot = Ktran + Krot ½ mvcm2 + ½ I2 [eg, wheel rolling normally on the ground, ball rolling on the ground]
Ktran = ½ m v2 Linear Motion • Krot = ½ I w2 Rotational Motion

Torque (t) • Force (F) is responsible for change of linear velocity. Net force results in linear acceleration. • Torque (t) is responsible for change in angular velocity. Net torque results in angular acceleration.
Torque r r F t = rF = (rsin )F = rFsin r =rsin = lever arm (moment arm) Torque = lever arm x force Unit: m-N
r F t = rF = rsinF Larger lever arm r, larger torque t if F stays unchanged. 2. Larger force F, larger torque t if lever arm stays unchanged. 3. If r = 0, t = 0. 4. If = 0, t = 0. 5. If = 90o, t = rF

Equilibrium • Recall, translational equilibrium – Fnet = 0. • Fnet = 0, object at rest – static equilibrium. • Fnet = 0, object moving with constant velocity, - dynamic equilibrium. • Rotational equilibrium, net = 0. • An object in equilibrium means it is in both translational equilibrium and rotational equilibrium. • Conditions for equilibrium: Fnet = 0 and net = 0
Equilibrium Conditions for equilibrium: Fnet = 0 and net = 0 • Torque can be calculated about any desired axis. • A judicious choice of axis helps. • Choose axis at a point through which an unknown force acts so that its torque does not appear in the equation.
Center of Gravity • Is the point through which the force of gravity acts. • Essentially the same as center of mass.

Rolling Object • A rolling object posses both Ktran (½ mv2CM) and Krot (½ I2) E1 = U1 + K1 = mgh + 0 h E2 = U2 + K2 0 + ½ mv2 + ½ I2 • If it came down rolling: mgh = ½ mvA2 + ½ I2 • If it came down only skidding, mgh = ½ mvB2
Angular Momentum (L) Recall: Linear Momentum: p = mv Angular Momentum, L = I Angular momentum of a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis. L is a vector quantity. Units = kg-m2/s Direction: If rotation is CCW, L is upward. If rotation is CW, L is downward.
Conservation of Angular Momentum If net external torque acting on a rotating object is zero, total angular momentum will be conserved. If net = 0, Lbefore = Lafter OR Iii = Iff EG: Skater spinning with her arms extended away from her body. Lbefore = Iii = (mri2)i She then decides to pull her arms close to her body so that her spinning radius becomes smaller (rf < ri) and Lafter = Iff = (mrf2)f
Conservation of Angular Momentum Since no external torque acts on her, principle of conservation of angular momentum will hold: Lbefore = Lafter or Iii = Iff or (mri2)i = (mrf2)f Since ri > rf, i < f ie, the skater will spin faster by just folding her arms.
