10. 1 Angular Quantities
Rigid object – shape doesn’t change
In purely rotational motion – an object move in rotation motion with (“O”) as the axis of rotational
Point P - distance R from the center - move in a circle (same as all other point in the object)
All points on a straight line drawn through the axis move through the same angle in the same time.
x-axis as a reference frame - can indicate the angular
position of point P- θ usually in
degree - radian is use for mathematical purposes
The angle θ in radians is defined:
[dimensionless]
l - is the arc length.R - distance from the
axis of rotational

R
Example 10-1: Birds of prey—in radians.
A particular bird’s eye can just distinguish objects that subtend an angle no smaller than about 3 x 10-4 rad.
(a)How many degrees is this?
(b)How small an object can the bird just distinguish when flying at a height of 100 m?
To define linear motion of an object we use quantities such as displacement, velocity and acceleration of the objectFor rotational motion, we will make use angular quantities such as angular displacement, angular velocity and angular accelerationThe concept is similar to linear motion
A wheel rotating – some point initially specified by θ1 move to point θ2
Angular displacement:
[rad]
The average angular velocity (omega, ω) is defined as the total angular displacement divided by time:
[rad/s]
The instantaneous angular velocity:
[rad/s]
It is not only the point (we measure) move in that angular velocity, all point in the object rotate with the same angular velocity – every position in the object move through the same angle in the same time intervalBy convention – object moving counterclockwise has + value
– object moving clockwise has - value
The angular acceleration (alpha, α) is the rate at which the angular velocity changes with time:
[rad/s2]
The instantaneous acceleration:
[rad/s2]
All points in the object have the same angular acceleration
Every point on a rotating body has, at any instant a linear velocity v and a linear acceleration.
We can relate the linear quantities (v and a) to the angular quantities (ω and α)
Linear velocity and angular velocity are related:
Conceptual Example 10-2: Is the lion faster than the horse?
On a rotating carousel or merry-go-round, one child sits on a horse near the outer edge and another child sits on a lion halfway out from the center.
(a) Which child has the greater linear velocity?
(b) Which child has the greater angular velocity?
Points farther from the axis of rotation will move faster (linear velocity) but the angular velocity for all points is the same.
If the angular velocity of a rotating object changes, it has a tangential acceleration:
Even if the angular velocity is constant, each point on the object has a centripetal acceleration:
Total acceleration of the object:
Raaa tan
22tan Raaa
Here is the correspondence between linear and rotational quantities:
Example 10-3: Angular and linear velocities and accelerations.
A carousel is initially at rest. At t = 0 it is given a constant angular acceleration α = 0.060 rad/s2, which increases its angular velocity for 8.0 s. At t = 8.0 s, determine the magnitude of the following quantities:
(a)the angular velocity of the carousel;
(b)the linear velocity of a child located 2.5 m from the center;
(c) the tangential (linear) acceleration of that child;
(d) the centripetal acceleration of the child; and
(e) the total linear acceleration of the child.
The frequency is the number of complete revolutions per second:
Frequencies are measured in hertz:
The period is the time one revolution takes:
Example 10-4: Hard drive.
The platter of the hard drive of a computer rotates at 7200 rpm (rpm = revolutions per minute = rev/min).
(a)What is the angular velocity (rad/s) of the platter?
(b)If the reading head of the drive is located 3.00 cm from the rotation axis, what is the linear speed of the point on the platter just below it?
(c)If a single bit requires 0.50 μm of length along the direction of motion, how many bits per second can the writing head write when it is 3.00 cm from the axis?
Example 10-5: Given ω as function of time.
A disk of radius R = 3.0 m rotates at an angular velocity ω = (1.6 + 1.2t) rad/s, where t is in seconds. At the instant t = 2.0 s, determine
(a)the angular acceleration, and
(b)the speed v and the components of the acceleration a of a point on the edge of the disk.
Vector Nature of Angular Quantities
The angular velocity vector points along the axis of rotation, with the direction by convention is given by the right-hand rule. If the direction of the rotation axis does not change, the angular acceleration vector points along it as well.
Constant Angular AccelerationThe equations of motion for constant angular acceleration are the same as those for linear motion, with the substitution of the angular quantities for the linear ones.
Example 10-6: Centrifuge acceleration.
A centrifuge rotor is accelerated from rest to 20,000 rpm in 30 s.
(a)What is its average angular acceleration?
(b)Through how many revolutions has the centrifuge rotor turned during its acceleration period, assuming constant angular acceleration?
10. 2 TorqueTo make an object start rotating, a force is needed; the position and direction of the force matter as well.
The greater the FA, the more quickly the door will open.
Same force apply close to the hinge (FB), door will not open so quickly.
The angular acceleration of the door is proportional not only to the magnitude of the force , but also directly proportional to the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line along which the force acts is called the lever arm or moment arm.
A longer lever arm is very helpful in rotating objects.
If RA is three times larger than RB (RA=3RB), with a same force, the angular acceleration will be three times as great at FA than FB
To get the same acceleration, FB had to be three times of FA (FB=3FA)
Angular acceleration is proportional to the product of force times lever arm call moment of force or torque (τ)
FR
Lever arm is define as the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of the force
Here, the lever arm for FA is the distance from the knob to the hinge; the lever arm for FD is zero; and the lever arm for FC is as shown.
The torque is defined as:

Two thin disk-shaped wheels, of radii RA = 30 cm and RB = 50 cm, are attached to each other on an axle that passes through the center of each, as shown. Calculate the net torque on this compound wheel due to the two forces shown, each of magnitude 50 N.
Example 10-7: Torque on a compound wheel.
The angular acceleration, α of a rotating object is proportional to the net torque, τ applied to it
Correspond to translational motion
a is also inversely proportional to the inertia of the object

Consider particle mass m rotating with radius R, a single force F acts on m, tangent to the circle
Knowing that , we see thatThis is for a single point mass; what about an extended object?
As the angular acceleration is the same for the whole object, we can write:
R
The total summation of is known as the moment of inertia (rotational inertia), I of an object.
[unit: kg∙m2]
Total torque: I
The distribution of mass matters here—these two objects have the same mass, but the one on the left has a greater rotational inertia, as so much of its mass is far from the axis of rotation.
Example 10-8: Two weights on a bar: different axis, different ITwo small “weights,” of mass 5.0 kg and 7.0 kg, are mounted 4.0 m apart on a light rod (whose mass can be ignored) as shown. Calculate the moment of inertia of the system(a) when rotated halfway between the weight(b) when rotated about an axis 0.50 m to the left of the 5.0 kg mass
The calculation for moment of inertia for most ordinary object can be difficult.
Moment of regularly shape object can be work out using calculus (10-7)
The rotational inertia of an object depends not only on its mass distribution but also the location of the axis of rotation—compare (f) and (g), for example.
Example 10-9: A heavy pulleyA 15.0 N force (FT) is applied to a cord wrapped around a pulley of mass M = 4.00 kg and radius RO = 33.0 cm. The pulley accelerates uniformly from rest to an angular speed of 30.0 rad/s in 3.00 s. If there is a friction torque τfr = 1.10 m∙N at the axle, determine the moment of inertia of the pulley. The pulley rotates about its center.
Example 10-10: Pulley and BucketConsider again the pulley in example 10-9 with the same friction. But this time, instead of a constant 15.0 N force being exerted to the cord, we now have a bucket of weight w = 15.0 N (mass m = 1.53 kg) hanging from the cord. We assume the cord has negligible mass and does not stretch or slip on the pulley.(a) Calculate the angular acceleration of the pulley and the linear acceleration of the bucket(b) Determine the angular velocity of the pulley and linear velocity of the bucket at t = 3.00 s if the pulley (and bucket) start from rest at t = 0.
Example 10-11: Rotating RodA uniform rod of mass M and length l can pivot freely about a hinge or pin attached to the case of a large machine. The rod is held horizontally and then released. At the moment of release, determine(a) the angular acceleration of the rod(b) the linear acceleration of the tip of the rod.(assume the force of gravity acts at the center of mass of the rod, as shown. Take I =1/3 Ml2)
10. 4 Rotational Kinetic Energy
The kinetic energy of a rotating object is given by
By substituting the rotational quantities, we find that the rotational kinetic energy can be written:
Work
The work done on an object rotating about a fixed axis can be written in term of angular quantities
The torque does work as it moves the wheel through an angle θ:

Example 10-14: FlywheelFlywheel, which are simply large rotating disks, have been suggested as a means of storing energy for solar-powered generating system. Estimate the kinetic energy can be stored in an 80000 kg flywheel with a diameter of 10 m Assume it could hold together at 100 rpm.(I = ½ MR0

Example 10-15: Rotating RodA rod of mass M is pivoting on a frictionless hinge at one end. The rod is held at rest horizontally and then released. Determine the angular velocity of the rod when it reach the vertical position, and the speed of the rod’s tip at this moment.(I = 1/3 Ml2)
10.5 Rolling Motion: Rotational Plus Translational Motion
Rolling without slipping• Depend on static
friction between rolling object and the ground
• Involves both rotation and translational motion
(a) Relative to the ground Point C (center of mass), the axle of the wheel has the velocity, v
(b)Relative to the axleThe wheel has an angular velocity ωThe velocity of the ground is the same magnitude with point P linear velocity = Rω
Rvv linearCM
Instantaneous AxisWhen a wheel roll without slipping, the point of contact of the wheel with the ground is instantaneously at restThis point is called the instantaneous axis as all other point is rotating around that point at that moment
The Parallel-axis Theorem
Relate the moment of inertia, ICM about an axis passing through the center of mass of total mass M, and a moment of inertia, I at any axis of the object with the axis parallel to the ICM
The parallel-axis theorem gives the moment of inertia, I about any axis that is parallel to an axis that goes through the center of mass of an object:
Example 10-13: Parallel axis.
Determine the moment of inertia of a solid cylinder of radius R0 and mass M about an axis tangent to its edge and parallel to its symmetry axis.
(I = ½ MR02)
Total Kinetic EnergyRolling object: rotates while its center of mass undergoes translational motionA object that both translational and rotational motion also has both translational and rotational kinetic energy:
Example 10-16: Sphere rolling down an inclineWhat will be the speed of a solid sphere of mass M and radius ro when it reaches the bottom of an incline if it start from rest at a vertical height H and rolls without slipping?(I = 2/5 MRo
2)
Example 10-18 Analysis of sphere on an incline using forcesAnalyze the rolling sphere of example 10-16 in term of forces and torque. In particular, find the velocity v and the magnitude of the friction force, Ffr.
