  1. ENERGY and ROTATION Rotational kinematics, part 3

  2. Kinetic Energy of Rotation • Rotational KE is similar to translational KE • depends on how fast you move • depends on the size of the object • Cannot say K=½mv2 since each particle in a body can have a different speed • Therefore, • Since the expression for Krotational becomes • Finally, given our definition of moment of inertia

  3. Example • A cylinder on mass M and radius R rolls (w/o slipping) down an incline plane as shown. • Assuming the cylinder starts from rest at the top of the incline, what is the linear speed of its CM at the bottom? STRATEGY: Apply energy conservation

  4. Example (cont’d) • Since • and • the energy conservation expression becomes Solving for vCM yields

  5. Another example • A 5kg block is hung from a pulley with a radius of 15cm and a mass of 8kg. The block is then released from rest. • What is the speed of the block when it hits the floor 2m below? • What is Krotational just before the block hits the floor?

  6. STRATEGY: Apply energy conservation

  7. The rotational kinetic energy of the pulley is simply

  8. Work & Power • Recall that W=FDs • In rotational kinematics, Ds=rDq • By substitution, W=FrDq=tDq • If we consider variable torques, then the work done is an integral • The work-energy theorem is true even if the work is done by a net torque: W=DKrotational

  9. Power • It’s still the rate at which work is done • Over a small angular displacement dq, the torque t does a small amount of work dW. • Therefore, • Again we see the parallels between rotational and linear kinematics --- this expression is analogous to P=Fv
