With a suitable choice of coordinate system, the angular position can be defined as the angle made by the position vector of the particles, \(\vec r\), and the \(x\) axis of a coordinate system whose origin is the center of the circle, as shown in Figure \(\PageIndex\)), so \(v_s\) corresponds to the speed of the particle. The acceleration vector, \(\vec a\), is in general not tangent to the circle; \(a_s\) represents the component of the acceleration vector that is tangent to the circle. If \(a_s=0\), then \(\alpha=0\), and the particle is moving with a constant speed (uniform circular motion), and the acceleration vector points towards the center of the circle. Exercise \(\PageIndex\): Two points at different radii on a rotating disk. • Both points \(A\) and \(B\) have the same angular and linear speeds. • Both points \(A\) and \(B\) have the same linear speed but they h...

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: • Calculate the torques on rotating systems about a fixed axis to find the angular acceleration • Explain how changes in the moment of inertia of a rotating system affect angular acceleration with a fixed applied torque In this section, we put together all the pieces learned so far in this chapter to analyze the dynamics of rotating rigid bodies. We have analyzed motion with kinematics and rotational kinetic energy but have not yet connected these ideas with force and/or torque. In this section, we introduce the rotational equivalent to Newton’s second law of motion and apply it to rigid bodies with fixed-axis rotation. Newton’s Second Law for Rotation We have thus far found many counterparts to the translational terms used throughout this text, most recently, torque, the rotational analog to force. This raises the question: Is there an analogous equation to Newton’s second law, Σ F → = m a → , Σ F → = m a → , which involves torque and rotational motion? To investigate this, we start with Newton’s second law for a single particle rotating around an axis and executing circular motion. Let’s exert a force F → F → on a point mass m that is at a distance r from a pivot point ( a = F / m a = F / m in the direction of F → F →. Recall that the magnitude of the tangential acceleration is proportional to the magnitude of the angular acceleration by a = r α a = r α. Substituting this expression into Newton’s second...

Adding series resistance (for example, due to the resistance of the wire in a coil) does not change the resonant frequency of the series LC circuit. For a parallel tuned circuit, the above equation is often a useful approximation, but the resonant frequency does depend on the losses of parallel elements. Terminology [ ] Angular frequency is often loosely referred to as frequency, although these two quantities differ by a factor of 2 π leading to potential confusion when the distinction is not clear.

Centripetal force is perpendicular to velocity and causes uniform circular motion. The larger the F c, the smaller the radius of curvature r and the sharper the curve. The second curve has the same v, but a larger F c produces a smaller r′. Example \(\PageIndex\)N. A higher coefficient would also allow the car to negotiate the curve at a higher speed, but if the coefficient of friction is less, the safe speed would be less than 25 m/s. Note that mass cancels, implying that, in this example, it does not matter how heavily loaded the c...

It is important to understand that the centripetal force is not a net force which causes an object to move in a circular path. The tension force in the string of a swinging tethered ball and the gravitational force keeping a satellite in orbit are both examples of centripetal forces. Multiple individual forces can even be involved as long as they add up (by vector addition) to give a net force towards the center of the circular path. One apparatus that clearly illustrates the centripetal force consists of a tethered mass ( m 1 m_1 m 1 ​ m, start subscript, 1, end subscript ) swung in a horizontal circle by a lightweight string which passes through a vertical tube to a counterweight ( m 2 m_2 m 2 ​ m, start subscript, 2, end subscript ) as shown in Figure 1. Exercise 1: If m 1 m_1 m 1 ​ m, start subscript, 1, end subscript is a 1 k g 1~\mathrm m 2 ​ = 4 k g m, start subscript, 2, end subscript, equals, 4, space, k, g what is the angular velocity assuming neither mass is moving vertically and there is minimal friction between the string and tube? Exercise 2: A car turns a corner on a level street at a speed of 10 m/s 10 \text 1 5 m 15, start text, space, m, end text . What is the minimum coefficient of static friction between the tires and the ground for this car to make the turn without slipping? With physics problems, they do this 'massless string approximation' where you ignore the mass of the string (since in most cases it is much smaller than the masses attached) and so...

Section Key Terms angle of rotation angular velocity arc length circular motion radius of curvature rotational motion spin tangential velocity Angle of Rotation What exactly do we mean by circular motion or rotation? Rotational motion is the circular motion of an object about an axis of rotation. We will discuss specifically circular motion and spin. Circular motion is when an object moves in a circular path. Examples of circular motion include a race car speeding around a circular curve, a toy attached to a string swinging in a circle around your head, or the circular loop-the-loop on a roller coaster. Spin is rotation about an axis that goes through the center of mass of the object, such as Earth rotating on its axis, a wheel turning on its axle, the spin of a tornado on its path of destruction, or a figure skater spinning during a performance at the Olympics. Sometimes, objects will be spinning while in circular motion, like the Earth spinning on its axis while revolving around the Sun, but we will focus on these two motions separately.

The rotation angle is the amount of rotation and is analogous to linear distance. We define the rotation angle Δ θ Δ θ size 12 to be the ratio of the arc length to the radius of curvature: Figure 6.3 The radius of a circle is rotated through an angle Δ θ Δ θ size 12.

Section Key Terms Students may get confused between deceleration and increasing acceleration in the negative direction. In the section on uniform circular motion, we discussed motion in a circle at constant speed and, therefore, constant angular velocity. However, there are times when angular velocity is not constant—rotational motion can speed up, slow down, or reverse directions. Angular velocity is not constant when a spinning skater pulls in her arms, wh...

Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: • Describe the physical processes underlying the phenomenon of precession • Calculate the precessional angular velocity of a gyroscope gyroscope, defined as a spinning disk in which the axis of rotation is free to assume any orientation. When spinning, the orientation of the spin axis is unaffected by the orientation of the body that encloses it. The body or vehicle enclosing the gyroscope can be moved from place to place and the orientation of the spin axis will remain the same. This makes gyroscopes very useful in navigation, especially where magnetic compasses can’t be used, such as in piloted and unpiloted spacecrafts, intercontinental ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope. Figure 11.19 A gyroscope consists of a spinning disk about an axis that is free to assume any orientation. We illustrate the precession of a gyroscope with an example of a top in the next two figures. If the top is placed on a flat surface near the surface of Earth at an angle to the vertical and is not spinning, it will fall over, due to the force of gravity producing a torque acting on its center of mass. This is shown in Figure 11.20 (a) If the top is not spinning, there is a torque r → × M g → r → × M g → about the origin, and the top falls over. (b) If the top is spinning about its axis O O ′ , O O ′ , it doesn’t fall over but precesses about the z-axis. L → L → according ...
