Rotational Motion PHYSICS 1 Rotational Advanced Placement Motion Presenter 2014-2015 Rotational Motion What I Absolutely Have to Know to Survive the AP* Exam The rotational kinematic equations are rotational relationships between the angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, and time that are only true when the angular acceleration is constant (i.e. when the angular acceleration is not a function of θ as one example). There exists an almost perfect parallel between translational and rotational motion. In a system in which there is both rotation and translation, you must include both rotational and translational kinetic energy in the same conservation of energy expressions. Linear and Angular analogs - variables Linear Angular x Linear Distance (m) Rotational distance θ (radians) Δx Linear Displacement (m) Rotational Δθ displacement (radians) v Linear Velocity (m/s) Rotational velocity ω (radians/s) 2 a Linear Acceleration (m/s ) Rotational acceleration α (radians/s2) m Mass (kg) Rotational inertia Ι (kg.m2) .

A torque can be thought of as a twist, just as a force is a push or pull. It is a torque that affects an object’s angular velocity. Torque is not energy, however and the units are mN or N.m, not Joules. Torque = τ = r F = rF sinθ ⊥ Where AP* is a trademark of the College Entrance Examination Board.

In this case, friction points up the ramp because it opposes the motion of the bottom of the ball, causing the ball to roll. 2.

Consider the motion of a uniform disk rotat­ ing about a fixed axis passing through its center of gravity C perpendicular to the face of the disk, as shown in Figure 11-1. The motion of this disk may be de­ scribed in terms of the motions of each of its individual particles, but a better way to describe the motion is in terms of the angle through which the disk rotates.

  • Chapter 8 Relationship Between Rotational Speed and Magnetic
    Chapter 8 Relationship Between Rotational Speed and Magnetic Fields 8.1 Introduction It is well-known that sunspots and other solar magnetic features rotate faster than the surface plasma (Howard & Harvey, 1970). The sidereal rotation speeds of weak magnetic features and plages (Howard, Gilman, & Gilman, 1984; Komm, Howard, & Harvey, 1993), individual sunspots (Howard, Gilman, & Gilman, 1984; Sivaraman, Gupta, & Howard, 1993) and sunspot groups (Howard, 1992) have been studied for many years by different research groups by use of different observatory data (see reviews of Howard 1996 and Beck 2000). Such studies are deemed as diagnostics of subsurface conditions based on the assumption that the faster rotation of magnetic features was caused by the faster-rotating plasma in the interior where the magnetic features were anchored (Gilman & Foukal, 1979). By matching the sunspot surface speed with the solar interior rotational speed robustly derived by helioseismology (e.g., Thompson et al., 1996; Kosovichev et al., 1997; Howe et al., 2000a), several studies estimated the depth of sunspot roots for sunspots of different sizes and life spans (e.g., Hiremath, 2002; Sivaraman et al., 2003). Such studies are valuable for understanding the solar dynamo and origin of solar active regions. However, D’Silva & Howard (1994) proposed a different explanation, namely that effects of buoyancy 111 112 CHAPTER 8. ROTATIONAL SPEED AND MAGNETIC FIELDS and drag coupled with the Coriolis force during the emergence of active regions might lead to the faster rotational speed. Although many studies were done to infer the rotational speed of various solar magnetic features, the relationship between the rotational speed of the magnetic fea- tures and their magnetic strength has not yet been studied.

  • Rotating Objects Tend to Keep Rotating While Non- Rotating Objects Tend to Remain Non-Rotating
    12 Rotational Motion Rotating objects tend to keep rotating while non- rotating objects tend to remain non-rotating. 12 Rotational Motion In the absence of an external force, the momentum of an object remains unchanged— conservation of momentum. In this chapter we extend the law of momentum conservation to rotation. 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia The greater the rotational inertia, the more difficult it is to change the rotational speed of an object. 1 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Newton’s first law, the law of inertia, applies to rotating objects. • An object rotating about an internal axis tends to keep rotating about that axis. • Rotating objects tend to keep rotating, while non- rotating objects tend to remain non-rotating. • The resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion is called rotational inertia (sometimes moment of inertia). 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Just as it takes a force to change the linear state of motion of an object, a torque is required to change the rotational state of motion of an object. In the absence of a net torque, a rotating object keeps rotating, while a non-rotating object stays non-rotating. 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Rotational Inertia and Mass Like inertia in the linear sense, rotational inertia depends on mass, but unlike inertia, rotational inertia depends on the distribution of the mass. The greater the distance between an object’s mass concentration and the axis of rotation, the greater the rotational inertia. 2 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Rotational inertia depends on the distance of mass from the axis of rotation.

Energy harvesting from moving structures has been a topic of much research, particularly for applications in powering wireless sensors [1]. Most motion energy harvesters are inertial, drawing power from the relative motion between an oscillating proof mass and the frame from which it is suspended [2]. For many important applications, including tire pressure sensing and condition monitoring of machinery, the host structure undergoes continuous rotation; in these Fig. 1: Schematic of the gravitational torque cases, previous energy harvesters have typically generator.

Desiderata Again, we review missing items in our development of linear algebra. We are missing a development of determinants of matrices whose entries may be in commutative rings, rather than fields. We would like an intrinsic definition of determinants of endomorphisms, rather than one that depends upon a choice of coordinates, even if we eventually prove that the determinant is independent of the coordinates. We anticipate that Artin's axiomatization of determinants of matrices should be mirrored in much of what we do here. We want a direct and natural proof of the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Linear algebra over fields is insufficient, since the introduction of the indeterminate x in the definition of the characteristic polynomial takes us outside the class of vector spaces over fields. We want to give a conceptual proof for the uniqueness part of the structure theorem for finitely-generated modules over principal ideal domains. Multi-linear algebra over fields is surely insufficient for this. 417 418 Exterior powers 2. Definitions, uniqueness, existence Let R be a commutative ring with 1.

  • Unit 1: Motion
    Macomb Intermediate School District High School Science Power Standards Document Physics The Michigan High School Science Content Expectations establish what every student is expected to know and be able to do by the end of high school. They also outline the parameters for receiving high school credit as dictated by state law. To aid teachers and administrators in meeting these expectations the Macomb ISD has undertaken the task of identifying those content expectations which can be considered power standards. The critical characteristics1 for selecting a power standard are: • Endurance – knowledge and skills of value beyond a single test date. • Leverage - knowledge and skills that will be of value in multiple disciplines. • Readiness - knowledge and skills necessary for the next level of learning. The selection of power standards is not intended to relieve teachers of the responsibility for teaching all content expectations. Rather, it gives the school district a common focus and acts as a safety net of standards that all students must learn prior to leaving their current level. The following document utilizes the unit design including the big ideas and real world contexts, as developed in the science companion documents for the Michigan High School Science Content Expectations. 1 Dr. Douglas Reeves, Center for Performance Assessment Unit 1: Motion Big Ideas The motion of an object may be described using a) motion diagrams, b) data, c) graphs, and d) mathematical functions. Conceptual Understandings A comparison can be made of the motion of a person attempting to walk at a constant velocity down a sidewalk to the motion of a person attempting to walk in a straight line with a constant acceleration.
