Circular Motion
• Previously we examined speed and velocity.
• However these were movements in a straight line.
• Sometimes motions are not straight, but circular.
![Page 3: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Around and around
• If you rotate in a circle there will be a rate you rotate at.
• That is, you will move some angle every second.• w = angular velocity = change in angle / time• Units of w are radians/second or
degrees/second
• If you want a linear speed, the conversion is:• V = radius * angular velocity (in radians /
second)
![Page 4: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Lets do an example.
• You are 0.5 m from the center of a merry-go-round.
• If you go around the merry-go-round once every 3.6 seconds (hint, how many degrees in a circle) then what is your angular velocity in degrees/second.
• There are 2 pi radians per circle. What is your angular velocity in radians per second?
• What is your linear velocity in meters per second?
![Page 5: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rotational Inertia
• If you want to know how something will accelerate linearly you need to know the force and mass.
• For circular acceleration the equivalent of the mass is called Rotational Inertia.
• Newton’s First law also applies here.• Something in rotation stays there unless
you act upon it.
![Page 6: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Equations…
• For a very small in size object traveling in a circle the inertia for the object is:
• Inertia = mass * radius * radius• Where radius is the radius of the circle it is
moving in.
• For any not small object the inertia depends on how much of the mass is far from the point you are rotating around.
• The more mass further out the higher the inertia (the harder it is to spin something).

Getting into Inertia Shape
• A solid ball: I = 2/5 m r * r• A solid cylinder: I = ½ m r * r• A meter stick from an end: I = 1/3 m L * L• (L = length of stick)• A meter stick rotating around its center:
I = 1/12 m L * L
• A hoop spinning around its center:I = m r * r
• A hoop spinning on its side:I = ½ m r * r
![Page 8: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A ball of mass 1.2 kg
• And a radius of 0.2 m.
• What is its Inertia if it is solid?
• If an ant of mass 0.01 kg is on the edge of the ball what is the inertia of the ant?
![Page 9: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Torque
• Now that we know about rotational mass we can examine rotational force!
• First of all lets see rotational acceleration:
• Rotational acceleration = change in rotational velocity / time
• Torque = force * distance from rotation pt
• Torque = Inertia * rotational acceleration
![Page 10: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The torque challenge!
• A 30 kg kid sits on one end of a seesaw at a distance of 2.4 m from the center.
• A bigger kid, 60 kg, thinking for some reason that if he gets closer to the center that he can push more weight around get 0.7 m from the center.
• Which kid has more torque?
• Who will end up in the air?
![Page 11: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Center of Mass
• Objects that are not tied down or held on an end will rotate around their center of mass.
• The center of mass is the average position of mass for an object.
• Note that for a weirdly shaped object, the center of mass can actually occur in a place where there is no mass.
• Where is the center of mass for a hollow soccer ball?
![Page 12: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sit down, stand up
• If I crouch down. What happens to my center of mass?
• When is this a good thing?
• When is this a bad thing?
• What happens to my center of mass if I lean forward?
![Page 13: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stability
• If I lean over at what point will I fall over?
![Page 14: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Stability
• If I lean over at what point will I fall over?
• If my center of weight in the horizontal direction is at a point that is no longer supported by my base (such as my feet) then I fall over.
• Why do I fall over?
![Page 15: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
To support
• You just need to make sure your center of mass is supported.
![Page 16: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Centripetal vs Centrifugal force
• These two are very similar.
• Centripetal force is a force that pulls you to the center.
• Gravity is an example here.
• When you are in circular motion, centrifugal force will try to push you out, and cancels out the centripetal force.
![Page 17: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Equation
• Centrifugal force = mass * velocity * velocity / radius
• A spacecraft is in orbit around the earth at a distance of 6.5 * 106 m and a velocity of 8.2 * 103 m/s.
• A) If the mass of the spacecraft is 3000 kg then what is the centrifugal force on the spacecraft?
• B) How does that force compare to the gravitational force on the spacecraft (yes use mg here)?
![Page 18: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Angular Momentum
• Did you notice that when I was talking about angular velocity, acceleration, and force, I left out momentum.
• Well, no longer.
• Just like with the other values,
• Angular momentum = Inertia * Angular velocity
• (just live normal momentum = mv)
![Page 19: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
And in case you are wondering…
• Yes, angular kinetic energy = ½ Inertia * angular velocity * angular velocity
• But back to Momentum:• Angular mom = Inertia * Angular velocity
• And remember that:• Angular velocity = velocity / radius• Inertia = mass * radius * radius
• So, therefore, • Angular Momentum (L) = mass * velocity * radius
![Page 20: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Conservation of angular momentum
• Just like with normal momentum, angular momentum is conserved!
• What does this mean?
• Well, if you rotate, you stay rotating with constant angular momentum.
• If you spin around the earth, you stay spinning!
![Page 21: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ice skater
• An ice skater puts our their hands and spins.• Ang mom = Inertia * angular velocity.
• The skater then pulls their hands towards their body.
• A) What happens to the Inertia (remember that inertia is greater when mass is further from the rotational point)?
• B) Knowing that Angular momentum is conserved what must happen to the angular velocity?
![Page 22: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Diver
• A diver with a height of 2 meters and a mass of 80 kg dives off a diving board.
• Initially he rotates around his center at an angular velocity of 3 radians/second.
• A) If his moment of inertia = 1/12 m * L * L then what is his moment of inertia and what is his angular momentum?
• B) He tucks into a ball with a radius of 0.5 m. Now the moment of Inertia = 2/5 m * r *r then what is his moment of Inertia?
• C) Knowing that angular momentum is conserved, what is his new angular velocity?
![Page 23: Goal: To understand angular motions](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070404/56813c84550346895da62589/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hadley circulation• http://ess.geology.ufl.edu/ess/Notes/AtmosphericCirculation/atmoscell_big.jpeg
As air moves North or
South, it moves E/W
because of the spin
of the earth.
Going up in
Latitude means
you have less
rotational Energy
(smaller radius).
Therefore, to
conserve energy,
the air moves
westward.

Conclusion
• Well, we have learned everything we could possibly want to know about angular motions.
• We see that once you get the inertia – or the rotational equivalent to mass, that all the equations for rotations are the same as for non rotations.
• Angular momentum is conserved, and this affects our weather – but no it does NOT affect our toilets!
