Understanding Angular Rotation and the Cross Product in Vector Mechanics

DESCRIPTION

This chapter delves into the concept of vector products, particularly the cross product and its significance in angular rotation. It explores how the result of the vector product ( A times B ) is a vector perpendicular to both ( A ) and ( B ), adhering to the right-hand rule. Key relationships such as ( A times B = -B times A ) and the magnitude given by ( |A times B| = AB sin(theta) ) are discussed. Furthermore, we connect linear momentum and torque with rotational dynamics through vector operations and determinants.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Chapter 10 More with angular rotatoin

  2. Cross product(Vector Product) • The solution of a vector product AxB is a vector in a direction that is perpendicular to the two vectors A and B. (Right hand rule) • A X B = -B X A • [A XB] = AB sin (theta) • ixj =-jxi = k • jxk = -kxj = i • kxi = -ixk = j • ixi = jxj = kxk = 0

  3. A x B = (Axi+ Ayj + Azk) x (Bxi+ Byj+ Bzk) = (Ay Bz - Az By )i = (AzBx - AxBz) j = (AX BY - AYBX) K

  4. Determinate method (Ay Bz - Az By )i + (AzBx - AxBz) j + (AX BY - AYBX) k

  5. Relating rotational with translational • Linear momentum • Torque
