Study Notes
Rotational Motion
- Students should be able to define and write equations for angular quantities in rotational motion.
- Students should be able to define and analyze rotational motion with constant angular acceleration problems.
- Students should be able to state and define the formula for torque in terms of angular acceleration and moment of inertia.
- Students should be able to explain the effect of the moment of inertia of an object undergoing rotational motion.
Symbols in Linear and Rotational Motion
- Linear motion uses
sfor displacement,ufor initial velocity,vfor final velocity,afor acceleration, andtfor time. - Rotational motion uses
θfor displacement,ω₀for initial angular velocity,ωfor final angular velocity,αfor angular acceleration, andtfor time.
Angular Velocity, Acceleration, and Rotational Kinematics
- In rotational motion, all points on an object move in circles around an axis of rotation (point O).
- The radius of the circle is represented by
r.
Angle in Radians
- The angle θ (theta) in radians is defined as the ratio of arc length (l) to the radius (r) of the circle.
- θ = l / r
Revolutions and Radians
- One complete revolution is equivalent to 360° or 2π radians.
Angular Displacement
- Angular displacement (Δθ) is the difference between two angular positions (θ₂ - θ₁). The unit for angular displacement is radians.
- The average angular velocity (ω) is calculated as the total angular displacement divided by time (Δθ/Δt).
- The instantaneous angular velocity (ω) is the limit of the average angular velocity as the time interval approaches zero (lim Δt→0 Δθ/Δt).
Angular Acceleration
- Angular acceleration (α) is the rate at which angular velocity changes over time.
- α = (ω₂ - ω₁)/Δt
- The unit for angular acceleration is rad/s².
- The instantaneous angular acceleration is the limit of the average angular acceleration as the time interval approaches zero (lim Δt→0 Δω/Δt).
Linear and Angular Velocity Relationship
- Linear velocity (tangential velocity, v) is related to angular velocity (ω) by v = rω, where r is the radius.
Centripetal Acceleration
- Centripetal acceleration (
a<sub>R</sub>) always points towards the center of the circular path and is given by aR = v2 / r = ω2r.
Frequency and Period
- Frequency (f) is the number of complete revolutions per second (ω / 2π).
- The unit for frequency is hertz (Hz).
- Period (T) is the time for one revolution (1 / f).
Comparison of Linear and Rotational Motion (Constant Acceleration)
- Shows equations for linear and rotational motion with constant acceleration .
Uniform vs. Non-Uniform Rotational Motion
- Uniform rotational motion has zero angular acceleration.
- Non-uniform rotational motion has non-zero angular acceleration (α).
Relationship between Linear and Rotational Motion
- A linear position (s) is related to a rotational position (θ) by s = rθ.
- Linear speed (v) is related to angular speed (ω) by v = rω.
- Linear acceleration (at) is related to angular acceleration (α) by at = rα
