Center of Mass • A point that represents the average location for the total mass of a system • For symmetric objects, made from uniformly distributed material • Center of mass = Geometric center
Center of Mass & Motion • Center of mass follows a projectile path
Rotational Motion • Focuses on pure rotational motion • Motion that consists of rotation about a fixed axis • Points on a rigid object move in circular paths around an axis of rotation • Examples: • Ferris Wheel; CD
Angular Position • In the study of rotational motion, position is described using angles (θ) • Angular Position = The amount of rotation from a reference point • Counterclockwise rotation = positive angle • Clockwise rotation = negative angle • Units = radians
Angular Position For a full revolution:
Angular Displacement • In the study of rotational motion, angular displacement is also described using angles (θ) • Change in angular position • Δθ = θf − θi • Δθ = angular displacement • θf = final angular position • θi = initial angular position • Units = radians (rad) • Counterclockwise rotation = Positive • Clockwise rotation = Negative
Angular Displacement The angle through which the object rotates is called the angular displacement.

Angular Acceleration Changing angular velocity means that an angular acceleration is occurring. DEFINITION OF AVERAGE ANGULAR ACCELERATION SI Unit of Angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s2)

Answer VARIABLES: Elapsed Time Δt = 1 h 3600 s Angular Displacement Δθ Angular Velocity ω Angular Acceleration α STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION * Angular Displacement Δθ = -2πrad (Minute hand travels clockwise one revolution) Δt = 1 h 3600 s * Angular Velocity ω = Δθ/Δt = -2πrad/3600s = -((2)(3.14))/3600 = -1.75 x 10-3 rad/s * Since the angular velocity is constant, angular acceleration is zero
Problem At a particular instant, a potter's wheel rotates clockwise at 12.0 rad/s; 2.50 seconds later, it rotates at 8.50 rad/s clockwise. Find its average angular acceleration during the elapsed time.
Answer Average Angular Acceleration: α = Δω / Δt = (-8.5 rad/s) – (-12 rad/s) / 2.5 s = 1.4 rad/s2
Angular Velocity Vector Angular Velocity Vector: * Parallel to the axis of rotation * Magnitude of the angular velocity vector is proportional to the angular speed - Faster the object rotates longer the vector * Direction of the angular velocity vector determined by the right-hand rule
Right-Hand Rule Right-hand Rule: * Used to determine the direction of the angular velocity vector * Fingers of the right hand curl in the direction of rotation * Thumb then points in the direction of the angular velocity vector
Angular Velocity Vector Right-Hand Rule: Grasp the axis of rotation with your right hand, so that your fingers circle the axis in the same sense as the rotation. Your extended thumb points along the axis in the direction of the angular velocity.
Angular Acceleration Vector Angular Acceleration Vector: * If the object is speeding up its angular velocity vector is increasing in magnitude Angular acceleration vector points in the same direction as the angular velocity vector * If the object is slowing down its angular velocity vector is decreasing in magnitude Angular acceleration vector points in the opposite direction as the angular velocity vector Preview Kinetic Books: 10.15

Reasoning Strategy 1. Make a drawing. 2. Decide which directions are to be called positive (+) and negative (-). 3. Write down the values that are given for any of the five kinematic variables. 4. Verify that the information contains values for at least three of the five kinematic variables. Select the appropriate equation. 5. When the motion is divided into segments, remember that the final angular velocity of one segment is the initial velocity for the next. 6. Keep in mind that there may be two possible answers to a kinematics problem.

Rotational Motion Review • UNIFORM CIRCULAR MOTION: • Example- Spinning Ferris wheel or an orbiting satellite • Object moves in a circular path and at a constant speed • The object is accelerating, however, because the direction of the object’s velocity is constantly changing • Centripetal acceleration Directed toward the center of the circle • Net force causing the acceleration is a centripetal force Also directed toward the center of the circle • In this section, we will examine a related type of motion The motion of a ROTATING RIGID OBJECT

Torque • Every time you open a door, turn of a water faucet, or tighten a nut with a wrench you are exerting a TURNING FORCE • Turning force produces a TORQUE • Review… • If you want to make an object move Apply a force • Forces make things accelerate • If you want to make an object turn or rotate Apply a torque • Torques produce rotation
Torque • Torque • A force that causes or opposes rotation • The amount of torque depends on… • The amount of force • When more force is applied there is more torque • The distance from the axis of rotation to the point of force
The amount of torque depends on where and in what direction the force is applied, as well as the location of the axis of rotation.
