Circular Motion Physics 114A - Lecture 23
A Particle inUniform Circular Motion For a particle in uniform circular motion, the velocity vector v remains constant in magnitude, but it continuously changes its direction. However, at each position it is tangent to the circular path. For this reason, it is called the tangential velocity of the particle. Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Position q Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Position q Degrees and revolutions: Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Position q Arc length s, measured in radians: Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Velocity w Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Graphical Representationof Circular Motion This figure shows the angular position of a particle moving around a circle of radius r. Graph the angular velocity w of the particle. Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Rotational Period T Example: Find the period of a music phonograph record that is rotating at 45 RPM. Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Acceleration a Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Example: Decelerating Windmill As the wind dies, a windmill that had been rotating at w = 2.1 rad/s begins to slow down at a constant angular acceleration of a = -0.45 rad/s2. How long does it take for the windmill to come to a complete stop? Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Angular Speed & Acceleration Accelerating Decelerating Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Clicker Question 1 The fan blade shown is slowing down. Which option describes a and w? (c) w<0 and a>0; (d) w<0 and a<0. (a) w>0 and a>0; (b) w>0 and a<0; Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Summary of Angular Variables Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Plotting a and w The angular acceleration a is the rate of change of the angular velocity w. If the angular acceleration a and the angular velocity w are plotted vs. time t, then ais the slope of the w vs. t curve, and Dw=w(tf) - w(ti)is the area under the a vs. t curve in the time interval between ti and tf.

Example: Thrown for a Curve To throw a curve ball, a pitchergives the ball an initial angularspeed of 36.0 rad/s. When thecatcher gloves the ball 0.595 slater, its angular speed hasdecreased (due to air resistance)to 34.2 rad/s. (a) What is the ball’s angular acceleration, assuming it to be constant? (b) How many revolutions does the ball make before being caught? Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Example: Wheel of Misfortune On a certain game show, contestants spin thewheel when it is their turn. One contestant givesthe wheel an initial angular speed of 3.40 rad/s.It then rotates through 1.25 revolutions andcomes to rest on BANKRUPT. (a) Find the wheel’s angular acceleration,assuming it to be constant. (b) How long does it take for the wheel tocome to rest? Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Example: A Rotating Crankshaft A car’s tachometer indicates the angular velocityw of the engine’s crankshaft in rpm. A car stopped ata traffic light has its engine idling at 500 rpm. When thelight turns green, the crankshaft’s angular velocity speeds upat a constant rate to 2,500 rpm in a time interval of 3.0 s. How many revolutions does the crankshaft make in this time interval? Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Example: Time to Rest A pulley rotating in the counterclockwise direction is attached to a mass suspended from a string. The mass causes the pulley’s angular velocity to decrease with a constant angular acceleration a = -2.10 rad/s2. (a) If the pulley’s initial angular velocity is w0 = 5.40 rad/s, how long does it take for the pulley to come to rest? (b) Through what angle does the pulley turn during this time?

Connections BetweenLinear & Rotational Quantities The tangential velocity vt is zero at the center of rotation and increases linearly with r. Physics 114A - Lecture 23
Example: CD Speed Unlike old phonograph records that turned with a constant angular speed (like 33⅓ rpm), CDs and DVDs turn with a variable w that keeps the tangential speed vt constant. Find the angular speed w that a CD must have in order to give it a linear speed vt= 1.25 m/s when the laser beam shines on the disk(a) at 2.50 cm from its center, and(b) at 6.00 cm from its center.
