Student is expected to understand the physics of rotating objects.

2. TORQUE Torque is the rotational equivalent of force.
It measures the “effectiveness” of a force at causing an object to rotate about a pivot.
A torque causes angular acceleration.
Problem 9.13, 9.19

3. FIND THE CENTER OF GRAVITY
For symmetrical objects, CG lies at its geometrical center.
For irregular-shaped objects,

4. CENTER OF GRAVITY
A uniform carpenter's square has the shape of an L, as shown in the figure.  Locate the center of mass relative to the origin of the coordinate system.

5. CAN DO!
Take a soda can that is full and try and balance it on its edge. What happened?
This time, have the soda can only about 1/3 of the way full (3.5 oz or 100 ml), and try it again. What happened?

10. ROTATION OF A RIGID BODY
Rigid body is an extended object whose size and shape do not change as it moves.
Every point in a rotating rigid body has the same angular velocity.

12. Spinning up a computer disk
The disk in a computer disk drive spins up to 5,400 revolutions per minute (rpm) in 2.00 s. What is the angular acceleration of the disk? At the end of 2.00 s, how many revolutions has the disk made?
Useful conversion:
1 revolution = 2π radians

13. Tangential Acceleration & Angular Acceleration in Uniform Circular Motion
Tangential acceleration measures the rate at which the particle’s speed around the circle increases.
If the angular velocity of a bicycle wheel is changing, then the wheel has an angular acceleration.

14. Relationship between Tangential Acceleration & Angular Acceleration

Displacement at constant speed
Change in velocity at constant acceleration
Displacement at constant acceleration
Angular displacement at constant angular speed
Change in angular velocity at constant angular acceleration
Angular displacement at constant angular acceleration

16. THINK!

A) velocity
B) angular velocity
C) centripetal acceleration
D) angular acceleration
E) tangential acceleration

17. MOMENT OF INERTIA It is the rotational equivalent of mass.
It is a measure of object’s resistance to angular acceleration about an axis.

22. Conservation of Angular Momentum
Joey, whose mass is 36 kg, stands at the center of a 200 kg merry-go-round that is rotating once every 2.5 s. While it is rotating, Joey walks out to the edge of the merry-go-round, 2.0 m from its center. What is the rotational period of the merry-go-round when Joey gets to the edge?

23. Conservation of Angular Momentum
An ice skater spins around on the tips of his blades while holding a 5.0 kg weight in each hand. He begins with his arms straight out from his body and his hands 140 cm apart. While spinning at 2.0 rev/s, he pulls the weights in and holds them 50 cm apart against his shoulders. If we neglect the mass of the skater, how fast is he spinning after pulling the weights in?
