1. Physics 218, Lecture XVI1 Physics 218 Lecture 16 Dr. David Toback

2. Physics 218, Lecture XVI2 Rotational Motion Will do Chapters 9 and 10 in four combined lectures Start with Fixed Axis motion The relationship between linear and angular variables Rotating and translating at the same time First kinematics, then dynamics –just like earlier this semester

3. Physics 218, Lecture XVI3

4. 4 Overview: Rotational Motion Take our results from “linear” physics and do the same for “angular” physics We’ll discuss the analogue of –Position –Velocity –Acceleration –Force –Mass –Momentum –Energy

5. Physics 218, Lecture XVI5 Rotational Motion Here we’re talking about stuff that goes around and around Start by envisioning: A spinning object like a car tire

6. Physics 218, Lecture XVI6 Some Buzz Phrases Fixed axis: I.e, an object spins in the same place… an ant on a spinning top goes around the same place over and over again Another example: Earth has a fixed axis, the sun Rigid body: I.e, the objects don’t change as they rotate. Example: a bicycle wheel Examples of Non-rigid bodies?

7. Physics 218, Lecture XVI7 Overview: Rotational Motion Take our results from “linear” physics and do the same for “angular” physics Analogue of –Position ← –Velocity ← –Acceleration ← –Force –Mass –Momentum –Energy Start here! Chapters 1-3

8. Physics 218, Lecture XVI8 Axis of Rotation: Definitions Pick a simple place to rotate around Call point O the “Axis of Rotation” Same as picking an origin

9. Physics 218, Lecture XVI9 An Important Relation: Distance If we are sitting at a radius R relative to our axis, and we rotate through an angle  then we travel through a distance l

10. Physics 218, Lecture XVI10 Velocity and Acceleration

11. Physics 218, Lecture XVI11 Motion on a Wheel What is the linear speed of a point rotating around in a circle with angular speed , and constant radius R?

12. Physics 218, Lecture XVI12 Examples Consider two points on a rotating wheel. One on the inside (P) and the other at the end (b): Which has greater angular speed? Which has greater linear speed? b R1R1 R2R2

13. Physics 218, Lecture XVI13 Uniform Angular Acceleration Derive the angular equations of motion for constant angular acceleration

14. Physics 218, Lecture XVI14 Rotation and Translation Objects can both translate and rotate at the same time. They do both around their center of mass.

15. Physics 218, Lecture XVI15 Rolling without Slipping In reality, car tires both rotate and translate They are a good example of something which rolls (translates, moves forward, rotates) without slipping Is there friction? What kind?

16. Physics 218, Lecture XVI16 Derivation The trick is to pick your reference frame correctly! Think of the wheel as sitting still and the ground moving past it with speed V. Velocity of ground (in bike frame) = -  R => Velocity of bike (in ground frame) =  R

17. Physics 218, Lecture XVI17 Bicycle comes to Rest A bicycle with initial linear velocity V 0 (at t 0 =0) decelerates uniformly (without slipping) to rest over a distance d. For a wheel of radius R: a)What is the angular velocity at t 0 =0? b)Total revolutions before it stops? c)Total angular distance traversed by the wheel? d)The angular acceleration? e)The total time until it stops?

18. Physics 218, Lecture XVI18 Computer Hard Drive A computer hard drive typically rotates at 5400 rev/minute Find the: Angular Velocity in rad/sec Linear Velocity on the rim (R=3.0cm) Linear Acceleration It takes 3.6 sec to go from rest to 5400 rev/min, with constant angular acceleration. What is the angular acceleration?

19. Physics 218, Lecture XVI19 Show Show for constant acceleration that :

20. Physics 218, Lecture XVI20 Exam 2 Class average for the 2 nd exam (including the 5 points) was 80.1% –Average for first two exams is a 78.7% Straight scale for curve for now Many have asked “should I q-drop?” –Talk to your advisor and read my FAQ! –Generic advice: Drop if you can’t keep up with the homework by yourself

21. Physics 218, Lecture XVI21 Next Time Lecture on Thursday will cover Chapters 9 and 10: –Reading questions due: Q10.7 & Q10.26

22. Physics 218, Lecture XVI22

23. Physics 218, Lecture XVI23 Next Time Exam 2 is Thursday! Bonus Points for getting a 100 on the mini- practice exam BEFORE the in-class exam Next week: Chapter 8HW due Monday morning Lecture next Thursday will cover Chapters 9 and 10: –Reading questions due: Q10.7 & Q10.26

24. Physics 218, Lecture XVI24 Next Time Read Chapter 10 –More on angular “Stuff” –Angular kinematics –Torque –Reading questions: Q10.7 & Q10.26 HW7 Due Monday (released this afternoon) Exam 2 next Thursday on Chapters 4-7

25. Physics 218, Lecture XVI25 More definitions Frequency = Revolutions/sec  radians/sec  f =  /2  Period = 1/freq = 1/f

26. Physics 218, Lecture XVI26 Motion on a Wheel cont… A point on a circle, with constant radius R, is rotating with some speed  and an angular acceleration . What is the linear acceleration?
