    Study Notes

    Rotational Dynamics

    • The center of mass of a system is the point where the mass is concentrated.
    • The laboratory frame is in the laboratory
    • The center of mass frame is considered relative to the center of mass
    • The angular momentum of a particle is the moment of inertia times the angular velocity
    • The principle of conservation of angular momentum states that the total angular momentum of a closed system remains constant.
    • Rotation about a fixed axis is when an object rotates about a fixed point in space
    • The moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to rotational motion
    • The Perpendicular axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a planar body about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the body is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of the body about two perpendicular axes lying in the plane of the body and passing through the point where the perpendicular axis intersects the plane
    • The Parallel axis theorem states that the moment of inertia of a body about an axis parallel to an axis passing through its center of mass is equal to the moment of inertia of the body about the axis passing through its center of mass plus the product of the mass of the body and the square of the distance between the two axes.
    • Routh's rule is a method for calculating the moment of inertia of a body about an axis
    • The kinetic energy of rotation is the energy possessed by a rotating body due to its rotation
    • Moment of inertia can be calculated for cylindrical and spherical bodies.
