  1. Physics 151: Lecture 20Today’s Agenda • Topics (Chapter 10) : • Rotational Kinematics Ch. 10.1-3 • Rotational Energy Ch. 10.4 • Moments of Inertia Ch. 10.5

  2. Rotation • Up until now we have gracefully avoided dealing with the rotation of objects. • We have studied objects that slide, not roll. • We have assumed wheels are massless. • Rotation is extremely important, however, and we need to understand it ! • Most of the equations we will develop are simply rotational versions of ones we have already learned when studying linear kinematics and dynamics.

  3. x = R cos()= R cos(t) y = R sin()= R sin(t) = tan-1 (y/x) v (x,y) R s t =t s=v t s=R=Rt v=R RecallKinematic of Circular Motion: y x For uniform circular motion:  is angular velocity Animation

  4. See text: 10.1 Example: • The angular speed of the minute hand of a clock, in rad/s, is: a. p/1800 b. p/60 c. p /30 d. p e. 120 p

  5. See text: 10.1 Rotational Variables • Rotation about a fixed axis: • Consider a disk rotating aboutan axis through its center: • First, recall what we learned aboutUniform Circular Motion: (Analogous to )  

  6. constant See text: 10.1 Rotational Variables... • Now suppose  can change as a function of time: • We define the angular acceleration:  • Consider the case when is constant. • We can integrate this to find  and  as a function of time:  

  7. See text: 10.1 Example: • The graphs below show angular velocity as a function of time. In which one is the magnitude of the angular acceleration constantly decreasing ?

  8. See text: 10.2 Rotational Variables... constant v • Recall also that for a point a distanceR away from the axis of rotation: • x = R • v = R And taking the derivative of this we find • a = R x R    Animation

  9. See text: 10.3 Summary (with comparison to 1-D kinematics) Angular Linear And for a point at a distance R from the rotation axis: • x = Rv = R a = R

  10. See text: 10.1 Example: Wheel And Rope • A wheel with radius R = 0.4m rotates freely about a fixed axle. There is a rope wound around the wheel. Starting from rest at t = 0, the rope is pulled such that it has a constant acceleration a = 4m/s2. How many revolutions has the wheel made after 10 seconds? (One revolution = 2 radians) a R

  11. See text: 10.1 Example: • The turntable of a record player has an angular velocity of 8.0 rad/s when it is turned off. The turntable comes to rest 2.5 s after being turned off. Through how many radians does the turntable rotate after being turned off ? Assume constant angular acceleration. a. 12 rad b. 8.0 rad c. 10 rad d. 16 rad e. 6.8 rad

  12. m4 m1 r1  r4 m3 r2 r3 m2 Rotation & Kinetic Energy • Consider the simple rotating system shown below. (Assume the masses are attached to the rotation axis by massless rigid rods). • The kinetic energy of this system will be the sum of the kinetic energy of each piece: Recall text 9.6, systems of particles, CM

  13. which we write as: Define the moment of inertia about the rotation axis Rotation & Kinetic Energy... • So: butvi = ri v1 m4 v4 m1 r1  r4 v2 m3 r2 r3 m2 v3 I has units of kg m2. Recall text 9.6, systems of particles, CM

  14. Lecture 20, Act 1Rotational Kinetic Energy • I have two basketballs. BB#1 is attached to a 0.1m long rope. I spin around with it at a rate of 2 revolutions per second. BB#2 is on a 0.2m long rope. I then spin around with it at a rate of 2 revolutions per second. What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of BB#2 to that of BB#1? A) 1/4 B) 1/2 C) 1 D) 2 E) 4 BB#1 BB#2

  15. Rotation & Kinetic Energy... • The kinetic energy of a rotating system looks similar to that of a point particle:Point Particle Rotating System v is “linear” velocity m is the mass.  is angular velocity I is the moment of inertia about the rotation axis.

  16. See text: 10.4 Moment of Inertia • So where • Notice that the moment of inertia I depends on the distribution of mass in the system. • The further the mass is from the rotation axis, the bigger the moment of inertia. • For a given object, the moment of inertia will depend on where we choose the rotation axis (unlike the center of mass). • We will see that in rotational dynamics, the moment of inertia I appears in the same way that mass m does when we study linear dynamics !

  17. See text: 10.5 Calculating Moment of Inertia • We have shown that for N discrete point masses distributed about a fixed axis, the moment of inertia is: where r is the distance from the mass to the axis of rotation. Example: Calculate the moment of inertia of four point masses (m) on the corners of a square whose sides have length L, about a perpendicular axis through the center of the square: m m L m m See example 10.4 (similar)

  18. I = 2mL2 See text: 10.5 Calculating Moment of Inertia... • The squared distance from each point mass to the axis is: L/2 m m r L m m See example 10.4 (similar)

  19. m m I = mL2 m m See text: 10.5 Calculating Moment of Inertia... • Now calculate I for the same object about an axis through the center, parallel to the plane (as shown): r L See example 10.4 (similar)

  20. I = 2mL2 See text: 10.5 Calculating Moment of Inertia... • Finally, calculate I for the same object about an axis along one side (as shown): r m m L m m See example 10.4 (similar)

  21. See text: 10.5 Calculating Moment of Inertia... • For a single object, I clearly depends on the rotation axis !! I = 2mL2 I = mL2 I = 2mL2 m m L m m See example 10.4 (similar)

  22. Lecture 20, Act 2Moment of Inertia • A triangular shape is made from identical balls and identical rigid, massless rods as shown. The moment of inertia about the a, b, and c axes is Ia, Ib, and Ic respectively. • Which of the following is correct: a (a)Ia > Ib > Ic (b)Ia > Ic > Ib (c)Ib > Ia > Ic b c

  23. Calculate moments of inerta: Lecture 20, Act 2Moment of Inertia • Label masses and lengths: m a L b So(b) is correct:Ia > Ic > Ib L c m m

  24. dm r See text: 8-5 Calculating Moment of Inertia... • For a discrete collection of point masses we found: • For a continuous solid object we have to add up the mr2 contribution for every infinitesimal mass element dm. • We have to do anintegral to find I :

  25. R R See text: 10.5 Moments of Inertia • Some examples of I for solid objects: Thin hoop (or cylinder) of mass M and radius R, about an axis through its center, perpendicular to the plane of the hoop. Thin hoop of mass M and radius R, about an axis through a diameter. see Example 10.5 in the text

  26. dr r L R Moments of Inertia • Some examples of I for solid objects: Solid disk or cylinder of mass M and radius R, about a perpendicular axis through its center.

  27. See text: 10.5 Moments of Inertia... • Some examples of I for solid objects: Solid sphere of mass M and radius R, about an axis through its center. R Thin spherical shell of mass M and radius R, about an axis through its center. R See Table 10.2, Moments of Inertia
