1 “Radian” “radian” : more convenient unit for angle than degree Definition: 360o 180o • 2π radians = 360 degree 1 radian = = = 57.3o 2π π s arc length ≡ s = r θ (in radians) θ ≡ rad r θ (in rad) s =×2π rr =θ 2π
r s θ’ θ
Example: r = 10 cm, θ = 100 radians Æ s = 1000 cm = 10 m.
Rigid body
Rigid body: A “rigid” object, for which the position of each point relative to all other points in the body does not change.
Example: Solid: Rigid body Liquid: Not rigid body
Rigid body can still have translational and rotational motion.
2 Rotation of Rigid body in 3D
Choose Z - axis as rotation axis (marks a constant direction in space) Use reference line perpendicular to rotation axis to measure rotation angles for the body
EACH POINT ON A BODY SWEEPS OUT A CIRCLE PARALLEL TO X-Y PLANE
3D VIEW – Z axis up TOP VIEW – Z axis out of paper Reference line rotates around it
REFERENCE LINE ROTATES WITH BODY
Measure θ CCW from x axis
THE ROTATION AXIS DIRECTION TAKES 2 ANGLES TO SPECIFY, e.g. (LATITUDE, LONGITUDE)
For any point in the body, r is the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis
Angular position of rotating rigid body
A rigid body rotates about some rotation axis – a line located somewhere in or outside it, pointing in some direction y in space • One polar coordinate θ specifies θ position of the whole body about this Reference x line rotates rotation axis. with body • By convention, θ is measured CCW rotation axis “o” rigid body from the x-axis fixed to body • It keeps increasing past 2π, can be parallel to z-axis negg,ative, etc. • Each point of the body moves around the axis in a circle with some specific radius
3 Angular displacement of rotating rigid body
Angular displacement: the angle an object (rigid body) rotates y through during some time interval. Equivalently, the angle that a reference θ line fixed in a body sweeps out Reference x line rota tes with body Angular displacement: rotation axis “o” rigid body • Net change in the angular coordinate fixed to body parallel to z-axis
Δθ ≡ θfinal − θinital (an angle in rad.)
Arc length: Δs • Measures distance covered by a point as it moves Reference line rotating with body y through Δθ (constant r) Δs = r Δθ
Δs ≡ rΔθ (a distance along a circular arc) θf r r

Rigid body rotation: angular & tangential velocity
Angular velocity ω: For any point, r is the perpendicular • Rate of change of the angular displacement distance to the rotation axis Δθ Δθ dθ ωave ≡ ωinst ≡ Lim ≡ Δt Δt → 0 Δt dt vT • Units: radians/sec. Positive in CCW sense • If is CONSTANT (uniform circular motion) ω r
θf = θ0 + ωΔt θ = ωΔτ x • Frequency f = # of complete revolutions/unit time • f = 1/T T = period (time for 1 complete revolution
ω = 2πf = 2π/T f = ω/2π
Δs = rΔθ
ds rd (r constant) Tangential velocity v = θ T: ds dθ • Units: distance / time v ≡ = r = rω T dt dt • Rate at which a point sweeps out arc length along circular path • Proportional to r, same ω vT = ωr
4 Angular velocity, period, and linear velocity
1.1. The period of a rotating wheel is 12.57 seconds. The radius of the wheel is 3 meters. It’s angular speed is closest to:
A. 79 rpm B. 0.5 rad/s C. 2.0 rad/s D. .08 rev/s E. 6.28 rev/s
1.2. A point on the rim of the same wheel has a tangential speed closest to:
A. 12.57 rev/s B. 0.8 rev/s C. 0.24 m/s Δs ≡ rΔθ D. 1.5 m/s E. 6.28 m/s vT = ωr ω = 2πf = 2π/T
Rigid body rotation: angular and tangential acceleration
Centripetal (radial) acceleration ac or ar (Phys105) vT • Body rotates at rate ω. r • Radial acceleration component, points toward rotation axis ac • Constant magnitude if ω is constant (UCM). Units: length/time2 ωτ • Changing if ω not constant (angular acceleration not zero) 2 x vT 2 ar== ω (use v= ω r) Fcentripetal = mac c r T
Angular acceleration α: Δω Δω αave ≡ αinst ≡ Lim • Rate of change of the angular velocity Δt Δt→0 Δt aT • Units: radians/sec/sec. 2 dω d θ vT • CCW considered positive α ≡ = 2 r dt dt ac
• for CONSTANT α: ωf = ω0 + αΔt ω,α x Tangential acceleration a : T aT = αr • Tangential acceleration component • Proportional to angular acceleration α and also to radius r dvT dω aT ≡ = r = rα • Units: length / time 2 dt dt
5 Note: for displacement, speed, and acceleration
• The tangential quantities depend on r • r varies for different points on the object • All points on a rotating rigid body have the same angular displacement, but do not move through the same path length. • All points on a rigid body have the same angular speed, but not the same tangential speed. • All points on a rigid object have the same angular acceleration, but not the same tangential acceleration.
Rotational Motion Example • For a compact disc player, the tangential speed must be constant to readdd dat a properly l • The angular speed must vary:
(vt = ωr) • For inner tracks, the angular speed must be larger than at the outer edge • The player has to vary the angular speed (rotation rate) accordingly.
