    Study Notes

    Rotational Motion

    • Rotational motion is the spin of a body around an axis.
    • All points on a spinning object undergo circular motion.
    • Circular motion can be analyzed by establishing a reference line and measuring the angle (θ) the rotating object makes with the reference.
    • Arc length (s) is the distance traveled by a point on the object along the circumference of the circle.
    • Angles can be measured in radians.
    • A radian is an angle whose arc length is equal to the radius.
    • A full circle has an angle of 2π radians.
    • The angle θ in radians is defined as the ratio of arc length (s) to radius (r): θ = s/r.
    • A radian is a dimensionless quantity.

    Conversion Factors

    • 2π radians = 360°
    • π radians = 180°
    • π/2 radians = 90°
    • 1 radian = 57.3°

    Rotational Kinematics

    • Rotational kinematics involves applying concepts of translational kinematics to rotational motion.
    • A rigid body is an extended object where particles maintain fixed distances relative to each other.
    • The carousel example illustrates the relationship between linear and angular quantities.

    Angular Velocity

    • Angular velocity (ω) is the rate of change of angular displacement.
    • Measured in radians per second (rad/s).

    Linear Velocity

    • Linear velocity (v) is the speed of a point on a rotating object.
    • Measured in meters per second (m/s).
    • Linear velocity is related to angular velocity by the equation: v = rω, where r is the distance from the axis of rotation.

    Tangential Acceleration

    • Tangential acceleration (atan) is the rate of change of linear velocity.
    • It's the acceleration that causes the object to change speed.
    • Its direction is tangent to the circular path.
    • Calculated as atan = rα, where α is the angular acceleration.

    Centripetal Acceleration

    • Centripetal acceleration (arad) is the acceleration that keeps an object moving in a circular path.
    • It's always directed towards the center of the circle.
    • Calculated as arad = v^2/r = rω^2.

    Total Linear Acceleration

    • Total linear acceleration (aactual) is the vector sum of tangential and centripetal acceleration.
    • It's the overall acceleration of a point on the rotating object.

    Angular Acceleration

    • Angular acceleration (α) is the rate of change of angular velocity.
    • Measured in radians per second squared (rad/s^2).
    • Similar to translational motion, angular acceleration is constant if the change in angular velocity is uniform.

    Angular Momentum

    • Angular momentum (L) is the measure of an object's rotational inertia and angular velocity.
    • Similar to linear momentum, it's the tendency of a rotating object to continue rotating.
    • Calculated as L=Iω, where I is the moment of inertia.

    Moment of Inertia

    • Moment of inertia (I) is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in rotational motion.
    • Analogous to mass in linear motion, it depends on the object's mass distribution and shape.
    • Unit: kg∙m2.

    Conditions for Equilibrium

    • A body in rotational equilibrium has a net torque of zero.
    • This means the sum of all external torques acting on the body is equal to zero.
    • The first condition for equilibrium in translational motion requires that the vector sum of all external forces acting on the body is zero.

    Torque

    • Torque (τ) is a twisting force that causes an object to rotate.
    • It's calculated as τ = Fd, where F is the force and d is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the point where the force is applied.
    • Torque is a vector quantity, and its direction is given by the right-hand rule.

    Rotational Equations of Motion

    • There are five key equations of motion for rotational motion, similar to the linear equations:
      • ω = ω0 + αt
      • θ = ω0t + (1/2)αt^2
      • ω^2 = ω0^2 + 2αθ
      • θ = (1/2)(ω0+ω)t
      • θ = ωt - (1/2)αt^2
    • These equations are used to relate angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time.
