  1. Rotational Motion I Pre-AP Physics / AP Physics

  2. The radian There are 2 types of pure unmixed motion: • Translational - linear motion • Rotational- motion involving a rotation or revolution around a fixed chosen axis( an axis which does not move). We need a system that defines BOTH types of motion working together on a system. Rotational quantities are usually defined with units involving a radianmeasure. If we take the radius of a circle and LAY IT DOWN on the circumference, it will create an angle whose arc length is equal to R. In other words, one radian angle is subtends an arc length Ds equal to the radius of the circle (R)

  3. Radian Examples • What is the amount of radians in 45 degrees? • What is the amount of radians in 90 degrees? • 2π radians is how many degrees? • 3/4 π radians is how many degrees?

  4. The radian Half a radian would subtend an arc length equal to half the radius and 2 radians would subtend an arc length equal to two times the radius. A general Radian Angle (Dq) subtends an arc length (Ds) equal to R. The theta in this case represents ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT.

  5. Angular Displacement Practice • While riding a carousel that is rotating clockwise a child travels through an arc length of 11.5 m If the child’s angular displacement is 165 degrees what is the radius of the carousel?

  6. Answer • While riding a carousel that is rotating clockwise a child travels through an arc length of 11.5 m If the child’s angular displacement is 165 degrees what is the radius of the carousel? • R= 3.99m

  7. Practice • A girl sitting on a merry-go-round moves counterclockwise through an arc length of 2.5 m. If the girl’s angular displacement is 1.67 rad, how far is she from the center of the merry-go round?

  8. Answer • 1.5 m

  9. Practice Problem 2 • A beetle sits at the top of a bicycle wheel and flies away just before it would be squashed. Assuming that the wheel turns clockwise the beetle’s angular displacement is π radians which corresponds to an arc length of 1.2 m what is the wheels radius?

  10. Answer • 0.38 m

  11. Angular Velocity Since velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement. ANGULAR VELOCITYis defined as the rate of change of ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT. NOTE: Translational motion tells you THREE THINGS • magnitude of the motion and the units • Axis the motion occurs on • direction on the given axis Example: v =3i This tells us that the magnitude is 3 m/s, the axis is the "x" axis and the direction is in the "positive sense".

  12. Angular Speed Example • A child at an ice cream parlor spins on a stool. The child turns counterclockwise with an average speed of 4 rad/sec. In what time interval will the child’s feet have an angular displacement of 8πrad?

  13. Answer • 6.3 Seconds or 2π seconds

  14. Checklist: • Work through the following two problems and create a checklist from these problems on how to solve them.

  15. Problems • A car tire rotates with an angular speed of 29 radian/sec. In what time interval does the tire rotate 3.5 times • A girl ties a toy plane to the end of a string and swings it around her head. The planes average angular speed is 2.2 radians / second. In what time interval will the plane move through an angular displacement of 3.3 rad.

  16. Answers • 1. 0.75 seconds • 2. 1.45 seconds

  17. Translation vs. Rotation Translational motion tells you THREE THINGS • magnitude of the motion and the units • Axis the motion occurs on • direction on the given axis Example: v =3i This tells us that the magnitude is 3 m/s, the axis is the "x" axis and the direction is in the "positive sense". Rotational motion tells you THREE THINGS: • magnitude of the motion and the units • the PLANE in which the object rotates in • the directional sense ( counterclockwise or clockwise) Counterclockwise rotations are defined as having a direction of POSITVE K motion on the "z" axis

  18. Rotation Example: Unscrewing a screw or bolt = 5 rad/sec k Clockwise rotations are defined as having a direction of NEGATIVE K motion on the "z" axis Example: Tightening a screw or bolt = -5 rad/sec k

  19. Angular Acceleration Once again, following the same lines of logic. Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. We can say the ANGULAR ACCELERATION is defined as the rate of change of the angular velocity. Also, we can say that the ANGULAR ACCELERATION is the TIME DERIVATIVE OF THE ANGULAR VELOCITY. All the rules for integration apply as well.

  20. Practice Problem 7C • A car’s tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21.5 rad/s. The driver accelerates and after 3.5 seconds the tire’s angular speed increases to 28 rad/s. What is the average angular acceleration during the 3.5 s time interval?

  21. Angular Acceleration Practice • A figure skater begins spinning counterclockwise at an angular speed of 4πrad/s. During a 3 second interval she slowly pulls her arms inward and finally spins at a rate of 8πrad/s. What is her angular acceleration.

  22. Combining motions –Tangential velocity First we take our equation for the radian measure and divide BOTH sides by a change in time. The left side is simply the equation for LINEAR velocity. BUT in this case the velocity is TANGENT to the circle (according to Newton's first law). Therefore we call it TANGENTIAL VELOCITY. Inspecting the right side we discover the formula for ANGULAR VELOCITY. Therefore, substituting the appropriate symbols we have a formula that relates Translational velocity to Rotational velocity.

  23. Tangential acceleration and rotational kinematics Using the same kind of mathematical reasoning we can also define Linear tangential acceleration. Inspecting each equation we discover that there is a DIRECT relationship between the Translational quantities and the Rotational quantities. We can therefore RE-WRITE each translational kinematic equation and turn it into a rotational kinematic equation.

  24. Example A turntable capable of angularly accelerating at 12 rad/s2 needs to be given an initial angular velocity if it is to rotate through a net 400 radians in 6 seconds. What must its initial angular velocity be? 30.7 rad/s

  25. Rotational Kinetic Energy and Inertia Just like massive bodies tend to resist changes in their motion ( AKA - "Inertia") . Rotating bodies also tend to resist changes in their motion. We call this ROTATIONAL INERTIA. We can determine its expression by looking at Kinetic Energy. We now have an expression for the rotation of a mass in terms of the radius of rotation. We call this quantity the MOMENT OF INERTIA (I)with units kgm2

  26. Moment of Inertia, I Consider 2 masses, m1 & m2, rigidly connected to a bar of negligible mass. The system rotates around its CM. This is what we would see if m1 = m2. Suppose m1>m2. m1 m2 r1 Since it is a rigid body, the have the SAME angular velocity, w. The velocity of the center, vcm of mass is zero since it is rotating around it. We soon see that the TANGENTIAL SPEEDS are NOT EQUAL due to different radii. m1 m2 r2

  27. Moment of Inertia, I Since both masses are moving they have kinetic energy or rotational kinetic in this case. r1 m1 m2 r2 So this example clearly illustrates the idea behind the SUMMATION in the moment of inertia equation.

  28. Example A very common problem is to find the velocity of a ball rolling down an inclined plane. It is important to realize that you cannot work out this problem they way you used to. In the past, everything was SLIDING. Now the object is rolling and thus has MORE energy than normal. So let’s assume the ball is like a thin spherical shell and was released from a position 5 m above the ground. Calculate the velocity at the bottom of the incline. If you HAD NOT included the rotational kinetic energy, you see the answer is very much different. 7.67 m/s

  29. Example: Moment of Inertia, I Let's use this equation to analyze the motion of a 4-m long bar with negligible mass and two equal masses(3-kg) on the end rotating around a specified axis. m1 m2 EXAMPLE #1 -The moment of Inertia when they are rotating around the center of their rod. 24 kgm2 EXAMPLE #2-The moment if Inertia rotating at one end of the rod m1 m2 48 kgm2

  30. Example cont’ Now let’s calculate the moment of Inertia rotating at a point 2 meters from one end of the rod. m1 m2 2m 120 kgm2 As you can see, the FARTHER the axis of rotation is from the center of mass, the moment of inertia increases. We need an expression that will help us determine the moment of inertia when this situation arises.

  31. Parallel Axis Theorem This theorem will allow us to calculate the moment of inertia of any rotating body around any axis, provided we know the moment of inertia about the center of mass. It basically states that the Moment of Inertia ( Ip) around any axis "P" is equal to the known moment of inertia (Icm) about some center of mass plus M ( the total mass of the system) times the square of "d" ( the distance between the two parallel axes) Using the prior example let’s use the parallel axis theorem to calculate the moment of inertia when it is rotating around one end and 2m from a fixed axis.

  32. Exam – Parallel Axis Theorem 48 kgm2 m1 m2 d = 2m m1 m2 4m 120 kgm2 (not drawn to scale)

  33. Continuous Masses The earlier equation, I =Smr2, worked fine for what is called POINT masses. But what about more continuous masses like disks, rods, or sphere where the mass is extended over a volume or area. In this case, calculus is needed. This suggests that we will take small discrete amounts of mass and add them up over a set of limits. Indeed, that is what we will do. Let’s look at a few example we “MIGHT” encounter. Consider a solid rod rotating about its CM. Will, I =Smr2, be the equation for a rod?

  34. The rod We begin by using the same technique used to derive the center of mass of a continuous body. dr The CM acts as the origin in the case of determining the limits.

  35. Your turn What if the rod were rotating on one of its ENDS? dr As you can see you get a completely different expression depending on HOW the body is rotating.

  37. The bottom line.. Will you be asked to derive the moment of inertia of an object? Possibly! Fortunately, most of the time the moment of inertia is given within the free response question. Consult the file ( on the notes page) called Moments of Inertia to view common expressions for “I” for various shapes and rotational situations.
