  1. Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion Chapter 5

  2. Uniform circular motion Uniform motion is motion at a uniform (constant) speed. Circular motion is motion along the arc of a circle. Uniform circular motion is motion at a constant speed along a circular arc.

  3. Period and velocity Units for period T: seconds For motion along a circular arc, use the distance along the arc.

  4. Example 1: Tire-Balancing Machine A tire is rotating at 830 revolutions per minute on a tire balancing machine. The tire's radius is 0.29m.How fast is the outer edge of the tire moving? The tire rotates 830 revolutions in 1 minute or 60 seconds.

  5. Velocity direction is always changing The velocity magnitude stays constant, but the velocity direction is always changing toward the center of the circle. toward the center Uniform circular motion is always accelerated motion because the velocity vectordirection is always changing.

  6. Centripetal acceleration Since acceleration is the velocity change each one second, the acceleration is in the same direction as the velocity change direction and that direction is toward the center of the circle. Centripetal means “toward the center”.(Centrifugal means "away from the center".) Centripetal acceleration is "toward-the-center acceleration ". The centripetal acceleration magnitude ac is For uniform circular motion, the acceleration vector is always

  7. For uniform circular motion is always accelerated motion because the velocity vector direction is always changing, . According to Newton’s 2nd law, there must be a net forcein the direction of the acceleration. This net force is called the net centripetal force because its direction is always toward the center. The direction of the net centripetal force is always toward the center of the circle. Newton's second law

  8. 17 m Example 5: Effect of Speed on Centripetal Force A 0.9 kg model airplane flies around in a circle at a constant speed of 19 m/s. Find the plane's acceleration and the tension in the string. The string is 17 m long. Acceleration can be expressed in multiples of g. The acceleration magnitude is 2.17 times more than 9.8 m/s2. [see maximums in Wikipedia g-force]

  9. 17 m in the vertical direction lift and gravity are balanced force diagram Example 5: Effect of Speed on Centripetal Force Newton's 3rd law String exerts a centripetal force on the plane.Plane exerts a centrifugal force on the string.

  10. Horizontal friction force provides the net centripetal force needed for uniform circular motion along a curved road. Vertical forces of gravity and support are balanced because the car has zero acceleration in the vertical direction. Unbanked curves (also called flat turns)

  11. Horizontal component of the support force FN provides the net centripetal force needed for uniform circular motion along a banked road. No friction force is needed when the car is driven at the proper velocity. To keep the vertical velocity from changing, the vertical component of the support force balances the gravity force . Banked curves

  12. θ θ Banked turn example Find the acceleration, forces, and banking angle. θ force diagram vector diagram

  13. Satellites in circular orbits Gravity provides the net centripetal force needed to keep communications satellites orbiting around the Earth.

  14. Acceleration due to gravity "g"

  15. Satellite stays above the same Earth location.Earth rotates once in 24 h and satellite orbits once in 24 h. These satellites have an orbital radius of about 42 Mm (M = mega, 106) which is about 22,000 miles above the Earth. With a velocity of about 3,000 m/s, the satellite travels about 3000 m in one second. The gravity acceleration at that altitude is about 0.2 m/s2. In one second the satellite "falls" about 0.1 m toward Earth. Instead of traveling in a straight line, the satellite "falls" just enough, about 0.1 m, to keep on its circular orbit. Communications satellites

  16. Earth Communications satellites

  17. Orbital motion Objects that fall just right can orbit in a circle or an ellipse.

  18. Orbital motion

  19. Apparent weightlessness apparent weight example from chapter 4 When the person and the scale are both falling with the same acceleration, the person is not being supported by the scale. The scale measures zero and the person is "weightless". 0

  20. rotation Artificial gravity The support force of the floor provides the net centripetal force needed to keep the people and things moving in uniform circular motion. A person standing on a scale would have the scale provide the centripetal support force and the scale would indicate that the person had "weight" just as if the person were experiencing weight due to gravity. Orbiting Space Station

  21. Artificial gravity What period of rotation would produce a centripetal acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 in a 200 m diameter space station?

  22. At the position shown, the skier is moving along a circular arc and therefore, must have a net centripetal force . Vertical circular motion FN must be greater than Fg by the amount of the net centripetal force required for uniform circular motion.

  23. Vertical circular motion Find FN for a 100 kg skier moving at 15 m/s with a arc radius of 20 m.

  24. The net centripetal force is the vector sum of the normal support force and the gravity force acting on the moving object. Gravity force always acts downward and the support force always acts toward the center because the track is a circle. At the bottom, Fg and FN are in opposite directions. At the top, Fg and FN are in the same direction. FN is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom. Vertical circular motion is the same magnitude at each location

  25. Vertical circular motion At the top, the smallest support force that the track can have is zero. This occurs when the velocity is so slow that the cycle barely touches the track. is the same magnitude at each location The velocity in this equation is the slowest velocity the cycle can have and still touch the track at the top.

  26. Vertical circular motion How fast must the cycle move and still be in contact with the track at the top if the radius is 10 m?

  27. Clothes dryer Compare the motion of the clothes in a dryer to the motion of the motorcycle on the circular track. What about the motions is the same? Explain. What about the motions is different? Explain.
