Chapter 8 Rotational Motion
q Rotational Motion • Angular Distance (q) • Replaces distance for rotational motion • Measured in • Degrees • Radians • Revolutions
Radian Measure r r 1 rad r 1 rad = 57.3 degrees 2p rad in one circle
w Rotational Motion • Speed of Rotation (w) • w = Angle covered/Time required • = Dq/Dt • Note similarity to v = Dx/Dt • Measured in • degrees/second • radians/second • revolutions/second
Rotational Motion • Angular Acceleration - Measures how angular velocity is changing (a) • a = Dw/Dt Note similarity to a = Dv/Dt • Measured in … • degrees/s2 • radians/s2 • revolutions/s2
Rotational Inertia • Property of an object that resists changes in rotation • For linear motion mass was a measure of inertia • For rotational motion Moment of Inertia (I) is the measure of rotational Inertia
Moments of Inertia • Depends on … • Mass of the Object • Axis of Rotation • Distribution of Mass in the Object
Moments of Inertia Standard Shapes
Moment of Inertia • Inertia Bars • Ring and Disk on Incline • Metronome • People walking • Weighted Stick - Bare Stick
Torque • Product of Force and Lever Arm • Torque = Force X Lever Arm • Examples: • Balance • See-Saw • Wrench
Sample Torque Problem (0.5 kg)(9.8 m/s2)(0.1 m) = (0.2 kg)(9.8 m/s2)d
Lever Arm F Line of Action
Torque • Just as unbalanced forces produce acceleration, unbalanced torques produce angular acceleration. • Compare: SF = ma St = Ia
Center of Mass • Average position of the mass of an object • Newton showed that all of the mass of the object acts as if it is located here. • Find cm of Texas/USA
Finding the Center of Mass Line of action Pivot point Lever arm No Torque Torque weight
Stability • In order to balance forces and torques, the center of mass must always be along the vertical line through the base of support. • Demo • Coke bottle • Chair pick-up
Base of Support Stability
Stability • Which object is most stable?
Centripetal Force • Any force that causes an object to move in a circle. • Examples: • Carousel • Water in a bucket • Moon and Earth • Coin and hanger • Spin cycle
Centripetal force F = mac = mv2/r = mrw2
Centrifugal force • Fictitious center fleeing force • Felt by object in an accelerated reference frame • Examples: • Car on a circular path • Can on a string
Space Habitat(simulated gravity) • “Down” is away from the center • The amount of “gravity” depends on how far from the center you are.
Angular Momentum L = (rotational inertia) X (angular velocity) L = Iw Compare to linear momentum: p = mv
Linear Momentum and ForceAngular Momentum and Torque • Linear SF = Dp/Dt • Impulse Dp = SF Dt • Rotational St = DL/ Dt • Rotational Impulse DL = St Dt
Conservation of Momentum • Linear • If SF = 0, then p is constant. • Angular • If St = 0, then L is constant.
Conservation of Angular Momentum • Ice Skater • Throwing a football • Rifling • Helicopters • Precession
