1. CP Physics Chapter 7
Angular Motion

2. 180 deg =  rad
1 rot = 2  rad
1 rev = 2  rad

3. Example #1

4. Example #2 Convert the following to radian: A. 30 deg B. 129 deg
C rev D deg
E rot F. 7 rev
Convert the following to degrees:

What is the total distance traveled by the rim of the tire?
Angular Velocity?

7. Example #4
A child is riding on a merry-go-round. How far from the center is she if she travels a total distance of 55.6 m and makes 4 complete revolutions?
If it took her 1 min to make 4 revs, what is her angular velocity?

8. Equations of Constant Angular Acceleration!!

9. Example #5
A 37 cm diameter tire starts from rest and rotates to 10 rotations per sec in 3 sec.
What is the angular acceleration?
How many radians did the tire rotate through?
C. How many rotations?

10. Example #6 A wheel rotates from rest to 15 rad/sec in 2-sec.
What is its angular acceleration?
B) How many rotations in that time? 2

11. Example #7
A dryer starts from rest and rotates 2 times until it reaches full speed of 1.5 rot/sec.
What is the angular acceleration?
B. How long will it take to do this?

12. Tangential Velocity and Acceleration
vt = r
at = r

13. Example #8
A woman passes through a rotating door at 1.8 m/sec. If she is 0.8 m from the axis of the door, what is the door’s angular speed?

14. Example #9
A dog on a merry-go-round undergoes 1.5 m/sec2 which is 1.0 rad/sec2. How far from the center is the dog?

15. Example #10
My father was a world known fast pitch softball pitcher who used the slingshot technique. Upon the end of his backswing, his 0.66 m arm is at rest and accelerates for 0.05 sec until he releases the ball. If the ball is thrown at 31.7 m/sec, what is the angular speed of his arm upon release of the ball, the at, and the angular displacement?

16. Centrifugal Force???

17. Centripetal vs Centrifugal Acceleration and Force
inertial versus noninertial reference frames
Fc is a net force-not an action/reaction force
Therefore, centrifugal force does not exist! 2

18. Centripetal Acceleration/Force

19. Top View

20. Example #11
A little kid swings a yo-yo around above his head with a centripetal acceleration of 3.1 m/sec2. If the string is 2.1 m, what is the yo-yo’s tangential speed?

21. Example #12
A piece of clay on a pottery wheel is about 0.2 m from the axis of rotation. If the wheel is spinning at 20.5 rad/sec,
A. what is the centripetal acceleration of the clay?
B. what is the tangential speed of the clay?

22. Example #13
A 0.9 kg mass is tied to the end of a 1.2 m string and whirled above your head 4 times every second. What is the centripetal force exerted on the mass? 3

23. Example #14
A 0.9-kg mass is tied to the end of a 1.2-m string and whirled vertically 4 times every second.
What is the tension of the string at the top of the path?
B) At the bottom of the path? 4

24. Example #15
The Steel Force at Dorney Park has a radius of curvature of 42 m at the bottom of the first hill and travels at 32 m/sec.
A) What do you weigh at the bottom of that hill?
B) What is your force factor?
42 m 5

25. Example #16
At the top of the camelbacks riders experience a force factor of -1. If the train is moving at approximately 10 m/sec, what is the radius of curvature of the track?
R = ? 6

26. Example #17
A car rounds a curve with a 50 m radius of curvature. If the coefficient of friction between the tires and road is 0.9, how fast can the car go without skidding? 7

27. Example #18
Riding the nauseating ride called the ROTOR. This ride has a radius of 2.1 m. The coefficient of friction between the wall and you is about How fast must that cylinder rotate in order for you to stay “plastered”
to the wall? 8

28. Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation
Where, 6

29. Example #19
What is the attractive force of the us on the Earth? 7

30. Example #20
Two guys are standing 0.5 m apart. Their masses are 80 kg and 95 kg. What is their attraction to each other? 8
