Rotational Motion and Angular Momentum
- Uniform Circular motion and Gravitation
o Motion in a circle at constant speed
āŖ Constant angular velocity
o Ļ was defined as the time rate of change of angle Īø
āŖ Ļ= ĪĪø/ĪT
o The relationship between angular velocity Ļ and linear
velocity V was also defined as rotation angle and
Angular velocity
āŖ V = rĻ
āŖ Ļ = v/r
ā¢ R: Is the radius of curvature
o The faster the change occurs, the greater the
angular acceleration
āŖ Angular Acceleration a, is defined as the rate of change of angular
velocity
ā¢ A = ĪĻ/Īt
ā¢ ĪĻ is the change in angular velocity
ā¢ Īt is the change in time
ā¢ (Rad/s2)
o If Ļ increases, then a is positive
o If Ļ decreases, then a is negative
o Example: rest to a final angular velocity of 250 rpm in 5s
āŖ Calculate the angular velocity
āŖ If she slams the brakes, causing acceleration of -87.3 rad/s2, how long does
it take for the wheel to stop
ā¢ A = ĪĻ/ĪT
o ĪĻ = 250rpm
āŖ 250rev/min(2pi Rad/Rev)(1min/60sec)
āŖ 26.2rad/s
o Īt = 5s
āŖ (26.2 rad/s)/(5s)
āŖ 5.24rad/s2
ā¢ ĪT = ?
ā¢ ĪT = (-26.2rad/s)/(-87.3rad/s2)
o 0.3s
o Linear acceleration is tangent to the circle at the point of interest
āŖ Linear acceleration is called tangential acceleration (At)
o Linear acceleration refers to changes in magnitude of velocity but not its direction
āŖ Ac refers to changes in the direction of the velocity but not magnitude
o At and Ac are perpendicular and independent to one another
o Tangential Acceleration (At) is directly related to angular acceleration (A) and is
linked an increase or decrease in velocity but not direction

o At = Īv/ ĪT
o For Circular motion, v = rw
āŖ At = Ī(rw)/ĪT
o The radius (r) is constant for circular motion, Ī(rw) = r(Īw)
āŖ At = r (Īw/ĪT)
o A = Īw/ ĪT
āŖ At = ra
āŖ A = at/r
o Example: a powerful motorcycle can accelerate from 0 to 30m/s in 4.2s
āŖ What is angular acceleration of 0.32m radius wheels
āŖ At = Īv/ ĪT
ā¢ (30m/s) / (4.2s)
ā¢ 7.14m/s2
āŖ A = at/r
ā¢ At = 7.14m/s2
ā¢ R = 0.32m
ā¢ (7.14m/s2) / (0.320m)
o 22.3rad/s2
Kinematics of Rotational Motion
- The kinematics of rotational motion describes the
relationshups among rotation angle, angular velocity,
angular acceleration and time
o To determines this equation
āŖ V = v0 + at
āŖ Ļ =Ļ0+at
ā¢ Ļ0 is the initial velocity
ā¢ Ļ = Ļ0 + Ļ/2
ā¢ v = (v0 + v)/2
o Steps:
āŖ Examine the situation to determining the rotational kinematics
āŖ Identify what needs to be determined in the problem
āŖ Make of list of given and what is needed
āŖ Substitute the values along with units
o Example: the whole system is at rest, and finishing line is 4.5cm radius, the reel is
given in an angular acceleration of 110 rad/s2 for 2s
āŖ What is the final angular velocity of the reel
ā¢ W = w0 + at
o 0 + (110rad/s2)(2s) = 220 rad/s
āŖ What speed is the finishing line leaving the reel after 2s
ā¢ V = rw
ā¢ V = (0.045m)(220rad/s) = 9.9m/s
āŖ How many revolutions does the reel make?
ā¢ 1 rev = 2 Ļ rad
ā¢ Īø =Ļ0t+ Ā½ Ī±t2

Document Summary
Angular velocity: v = r , = v/r, r: is the radius of curvature. If she slams the brakes, causing acceleration of -87. 3 rad/s2 it take for the wheel to stop. = 220rad: how many meters of finishing line come off the reel, x = r , example: calculate the distance traveled, 220rad(0. 045m) = 9. 9m. I = mr2: (0. 50)(50kg)(1. 5m)2 = 56. 25kg. m2, a = t/i (375n. m) / (56. 25kg,m2, 6. 67rad/s2, b) ic = mr2, 18kg(1. 25)2, 28. 13kg. m2. To get an expression for rotational kinetic energy, must know net t = ia: net w = ia . Solve one of the rotational kinematics for a : 2 = 0. 2+2 : = ( 2 0, net w = i 2 i 0. Total work done is the change in kinetic energy. I = mr2: 4(0. 26)2, 0. 721 rad/s, conservation of angular momentum, to change angular, a torque must act over some period of time, net t = l/ t, l/ t = 0.
