Study Notes
Uniform Circular Motion
- Period (T) stands for the time duration it takes for an object to make a complete revolution around a circle.
- Frequency (f) is the measure of how many revolutions or cycles occur per second.
- Angular Velocity (ω) describes how rapidly an object rotates or revolves, typically derived from complete rotation or revolution.
Goals
- Cover the fundamentals of rotation
- Understand kinematics and dynamics in the context of rotation
- Grasp moment of inertia and angular momentum
- Understand the principles of centrifugal force
- Planetary motion and Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation are important concepts
Rotation
- Rotational motion describes the motion of an object around a circular path in a fixed orbit
Angular Position
- Angular displacement is defined as the angle through which a point or line has been rotated along a specified direction around an axis.
- The SI unit of the angular displacement is radian (rad)
- A point or line is rotated around a specified axis
- Illustration: Point P on a rotating CD moves through arc length s on a circular path of radius r around fixed axis O
Problem Solving: Angular Position
- For a wheel with a 0.25 m radius completing an angular displacement of 2.5π radians, a point on the rim has a radius of 0.03m.
Angular Displacement
- Angular displacement involves a sign convention
- A positive sign indicates rotational motion is anticlockwise
- A negative sign indicates rotational motion is clockwise
Problem Solving: Angular Displacement
- A wheel starting from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 4.0 rad/s^2 has an angular displacement of blank after 3.0 seconds.
Describing Circular Motion
- Angular displacement is measured in degrees, radians, or revolutions.
- Conversion formulas are used to convert between:
- Revolutions and degrees
- Revolutions and radians
- Degrees and radians
Circular (Tangential) Speed
- This is the speed of an object moving at a constant rate around a circular path
- The SI unit is meters per second (m/s)
Problem Solving: Tangential Speed
- A bicycle wheel with a radius of 35 meters completes one revolution in 2.5 seconds, a point on the outer edge has a tangential speed of 87.96m/s.
Average Angular Velocity
- Describes how rapidly an object is spinning or its rate of change of angular displacement.
- Vector quantity measured in radians per second
Problem Solving: Average Angular Velocity
- A car traveling with a radius of 50 meters at a speed of 20 m/s has an angular velocity of 0.4 rad/s
Angular Acceleration (α)
- Denotes the time rate of change of angular velocity
- Vector quantity whose unit is in rad
- Positive angular acceleration indicates the angular velocity (ω) is increasing
- Negative angular acceleration indicates the angular velocity (ω) is decreasing
Problem Solving: Angular Acceleration
- A car tire increasing from rest to an angular velocity of 10 rad/s in 5 seconds has an angular acceleration of 2 rad/s^2.
- A motorcycle accelerating from 0 to 30.0 m/s in 4.20 s with 0.320-m-radius wheels reports an angular acceleration of 22.3 rad/.
Centripetal Acceleration
- Acceleration experienced by an object moving in a circular path
- It is directed towards the circle's center.
- S.I unit = radians/s2
Problem Solving: Centripetal Acceleration
- A car moving with a speed of 20 m/s around a circular track with a radius of 50 meters has a centripetal acceleration of 8 m/
- If a child is swinging on a playground swing in a radius of 2 meters at a speed of 3 meters per second has a centripetal acceleration of 4.5 m/
- A car driving on a circluar track with a radius of 100 meters, completing one lap in 40 seconds, the centripetal acceleration is 2.47 m/
Centripetal Force
- Maintains an object's movement in a circular path
- Directed towards the circle's center
- Counteracts object's tendency to move in a straight line
- S.I unit = radians/s2
Problem Solving: Centripetal Force
- A car of mass 1000 kg traveling at a speed of 20 meters per second around a circular track with a radius of 50 meters, the centripetal force is 8000 N.
- A ball of mass 0.2 kg swung in a horizontal circle with a radius of 0.5 meters a speed of 2 meters per second has a magnitude of the centripetal force of 1.6 N.
- A 500 g mass is is attached to a 1 m long string spun and spun at a constant speed of 4π rad/s has a centripetal force of 1256.64 N
Uniform Circular Motion (UCM)
- UCM features motion along circular path at a constant speed but with changing velocity
- Change in velocity induces a continuous change in direction.
- Acceleration is centripetal as it is directed towards the center of the circular path.
Rotational Motion with Uniform Angular Acceleration
- Linear and rotational motion have parallel equations with analogous variables:
- Displacement
- Initial velocity
- Final velocity
- Acceleration

Problem Solving: Uniform Angular Acceleration
- A disc with an initial angular velocity of 10.0 rad/s and a constant angular acceleration of -2.0 rad/s^2 reports angular displacement of 25rad when its angular velocity becomes zero.
- A music CD with a playing time of 80 mins, rotating at 400 rpm and ends at 250rpm indicates angular acceleration of 0.0032 rad/s^2 and 26000 angle.
Moment of Inertia
- Describes a rotating body's capability to resist changes to its rotational state
- The greater moment of inertia translates to more resistance to angular acceleration.
Problem Solving: Moment of Inertia
- Thin cylindrical shell, a solid cylinder and equal radius and mass sphere are released at the same time from inclined plane, the sphere will likely arrived last depending on mass and radius.
Dynamics of Rotation
- Torque is rotational analogue of force with 3 key laws:
- A body at rest will not start rotating nor will a rotating body change its angular speed unless acted upon by an external unbalanced torque
- An unbalanced torque acting on a rigid body produces angular acceleration
- For every action torque there is an an equal but opposite reaction torque
Problem Solving: Dynamics of Rotation
- A disk with a moment of interia of 0.5 kg.m2 rotating at an angular velocity of 5 radians per second with angular acceleration of 2 radians per second squared has torque of 1 N·m
Rotational Work and Energy
- Work: product of torque and angular displacement
- Power: Work done per unit of time
- Kinetic energy is the energy of a rotating rigid body
Problem Solving: Work and Energy
- A wheel of radius 0.3 meters is rotating at 10 radians per second. A rotational work 4 N·m x 50 radians is calculated on an applied of 5 seconds .
- A motor at an angular velocity of 100 radians per second as its maximum power out put with Torque x Angular velociity.
Angular Momentum
- The angular momentum (L) of a body rotating about a fixed axis equals to the product of its moment of inertia around a fixed axis and its velocity.
- SI Unit measured in Kg -- (Note: rad is omitted)
- Angular momentum is also conserved
Problem Solving: Angular Momentum
- A bicycle wheel rotating with a formula of 1/2MR^2
- A ball rotating on a thin wire reports angular momentum
Planetary Motion, Kepler's 3 Laws
-- (1) planet orbits the sun in ellipses with the sun at one focus
-- (2) A connecting line sweeps out equal areas
-- (3) The square of the orbital period is proportional to the cube of the axis
Newtons law on universal gravitation
-- Every particle attracts every other
-- Attractive is directly proportional
-- Inversely proportional to the square
Escape speed
-- Describes the minimum speed to break away
-- Applies universally
-- It's doesn't depend on moving body's mass
