  1. Kinematics vs. Rotational Motion When discussing kinematics, what are some common vector quantities we discuss? • Displacement • Velocity • Acceleration • Force • Momentum ALL of these vectors can be described in terms of rotational motion! Angular displacement Angular velocity Angular acceleration Torque Angular momentum

  2. How do we describe angular displacement? Lets say I have a disk rotating clockwise… Ex: The dot has an angular displacement of 90o or π/2 rad or 1.57 rad • From math class, how do we describe the amount a circle rotates? • Radians (rad) • Symbol: θ r

  3. What exactly is 1 radian? • One radian is the angle created by an arc whose length is equal to the radius. When l = r the angular displacement is oneradian. Therefore,

  4. Make the following conversions 1 revolution to radians 60 degrees to radians 4.5 revolutions to radians 48 degrees to radians 2π rad 1.05 rad or π/3 rad 9π rad or 28.3 rad 0.84 rad

  5. A falcon can distinguish objects that extend a minimum angular displacement of 3 x 10-4 rad. • How many degrees is this? • How small an object can the bird distinguish when flying a height of 100 m? a. b.

  6. How do we describe “angular velocity”? Thinking about velocity for a second, how do we determine velocity? • Displacement/time = velocity So it should be intuitive that angular velocity is how many radians are covered in a certain period of time. Symbol: ω (omega) Units: rads/sec

  7. How is angular velocity related to linear velocity? Can we express both in one equation? • Yes, we can combine equations and simplify using our expression for radians! • Related:

  8. Angular Acceleration How did we determine angular velocity? We simply applied the linear velocity equation in terms of radians! So what is angular acceleration? Symbol: α (alpha) Units: rad/sec2 Look familiar?

  9. Tying together relationships What expression related angular displacement to displacement and angular velocity to velocity? How is each relationship similar? So, what do you think is the equation that relates angular and linear acceleration?

  10. How do all the kinematic equations relate to rotational motion? Kinematics Rotational

  11. Making things even easier! A lot of the time, rotational questions give you the angular velocity as “rpm” or “rps”. We can convert this since one rotation is 2π radians! What is 5.5 rpsin rad/s? • “rps” is simply frequency, so this conversion can be written as:

  12. Example A centrifuge rotor is accelerated from rest to 20,000 rpm in 30 s. • What is the average angular acceleration? • Through how many revolutions has the centrifuge rotor turned during its acceleration period, assuming constant angular acceleration?

  13. Solutions • ωi = 0, so that leaves just ωf ωf=2πf = 2π rad/rev x 333.3 rev/s ωf ≈ 2100 rad/s α = 70 rad/sec2 b. Recall one revolution is 2π radians. θ = 0 + .5(70 rad/s2)(30s)2 θ = 3.15 x 104 rad 5000 rev

  14. Examples

  15. Warm-Up • How is linear acceleration, velocity and displacement related to it’s rotational counterpart? • How is frequency related to angular velocity? • What is “rps” and “rpm” stand for? What do both represent?

  16. How do we describe Newton’s second law for rotation?

  17. What is Newton’s Second Law? • F = ma So, what did we say is the rotational equivalent to force? • TORQUE!!! We learned about torque earlier, but how can we describe it in terms of rotational motion? How did we write the rotational versions for ALL the kinematic equations??? This is the exact same equation that we learned before, but now we see how it matches all the other rotational ones!

  18. Deriving a rotational expression for torque So now we have “τ = rF”, but if torque represents the 2nd law for rotation, then what about mass? How can we write force in terms of rotation? • F = ma • F = m x rα • τ = mr2α Now we can substitute into the equation for torque!

  19. Rotational Inertia τ = mr2 x α So, lets compare this to F = ma • Torque is rotational force • Angular acceleration is rotational acceleration • (mr2) is rotational inertia with symbol “I”

  20. Demo: Rotational Inertia Which has more rotational inertia “I”? • Rotational motion measures how hard it is to change angular velocity. • It’s based on mass and it’s distribution regarding the axis of rotation. The cylinder is faster, so it must have less rotational inertia. It was easier to move!

  21. Two weights on a bar: different axis, different “I” Two weights of mass 5 kg and 7 kg are mounted 4 m apart on a light rod (whose mass can be ignored). Calculate the moment of inertia when rotated about an axis halfway between the weights. I = Σmr2 I = (5kg)(2m)2 + (7kg)(2m)2 I = 48.0 kg.m2

  22. Different Axis Calculate the moment of inertia now when rotated about an axis 0.5 m to the left of the 5 kg mass. I = Σmr2 I = (5kg)(.5m)2 + (7kg)(4.5m)2 I = 143 kg.m2 How does the inertia added by the mass close to the axis compare to the mass farther away?

  23. Summary • What is Newton’s second law for rotational motion? • How can we define rotational inertia? • What affects the rotational inertia “I”? • What was the difference between parts “a” and “b” in the practice questions?

  24. Warm-Up A solid cylinder with a mass of 5 kg and a rotational inertia of ½mr2 rolls without slipping down an inclined plane. The cylinder starts from rest at a height of 1 meter. Determine the translational speed of the cylinder when it reaches the bottom of the inclined plane.

  25. How is angular momentum represented? In order to answer this question we need to ask ourselves how linear momentum is represented. Rotational Momentum L = Iω ΔL = Στ x Δt Linear Momentum p = mv J = F x t = Δp Symbol: L Units: Whatever works

  26. Conservation of Angular Momentum Without an acceleration can there be a force? Without an angular acceleration can there be a torque? If there is no torque on an object, will the angular momentum change? • Similar to the linear case, without a change in torque or angular velocity there can not be a change in “angular momentum”. It remains constant! • Ioωo= Ifωf= constant

  27. Angular Momentum Demo • How is angular momentum conserved? • What factors are changing to conserve momentum? • Once spinning is any additional torque or angular acceleration provided?

  28. Practice Angular Momentum Astronauts use a centrifuge to simulate the harshness of a shuttle launch. Initially the centrifuge has a length of 8m and an angular velocity of 10 rad/sec. The machine is then pulled in to half it’s length while spinning. What is the new angular velocity? Ioωo = Ifωf mr2ω = (mr2)fωf m.80(rad.m/s) = m.4m.ωf 80 (rad.m/s) = 4m.ωf ωf= 20 rad/sec

  29. Summary • Why is the equation for rotational inertia not always the same? • What is the equation for angular momentum? • How is angular momentum conserved?
