PHYS 101 Lecture 14 - Angular Acceleration 14 - 1 PHYS 101 Lecture 14 - Angular acceleration 14 - 1 Lecture 14 - Angular acceleration What’s important: • angular acceleration • angular velocity and acceleration as vectors Demonstrations: • bike wheel, rotating stool Circular Motion with Variable Speed Continuing with circular motion, let us consider the case where ω is not a constant. This means that there are two components to the acceleration, a centripetal component towards the centre and a tangential component along the edge: a tangential = at net acceleration a centrip = ac • Just as we define linear acceleration in terms of a change in velocity, we can define an angular acceleration α by a change in angular velocity [angular acceleration] ≡ α = [change in ω] / [change in time] α ≡ Δω / Δt = dω /dt as Δt → 0 Link between α and a Starting with v = ωr, the angular acceleration is α = d (v/r) / dt But if r is constant (for circular motion) α = (dv/ dt) / r. Again, with constant r, the rate dv/dt must be the tangential acceleration at, so α = at / r or at = αr. © 2001 by David Boal, Simon Fraser University.

PHYS 101 Lecture 14 - Angular acceleration 14 - 2 Thus, we have the parallel equations (for constant radius) arc length = θ r speed = ω r tangential acceleration = α r Thus, we expect to find relations amongst θ, ω, α and t just as with x, v, a and t. Suppose we have uniform angular acceleration angular acceleration ! take t the area angular frequency angle " # ! area = ( " - "o)t/2 "o area ! area = "ot t t (assume # = 0 at t = 0) The area of the angular acceleration graph gives a linear time dependence for the angular velocity: ωf = ωo + αt ---> αt = ωf - ωo The area of the angular velocity graph gives a quadratic time dependence for the angle: θ = ωot + (ωf - ωo)t / 2 or 2 θ = ωot + αt /2. Finally, an alternate expression for the angle which does not explicitly show the time dependence can be found by rearranging the above expressions: 2 2 θ = (ωf - ωo ) / 2α. © 2001 by David Boal, Simon Fraser University.

PHYS 101 Lecture 14 - Angular acceleration 14 - 3 Example A carousel, starting from rest, attains a frequency of one revolution every 5 sec after 10 sec. Assuming uniform acceleration, what is the angular acceleration? If the carousel is 10 m in diameter, what is at after 10 sec? Solution After 10 seconds, T = 5 s f = 1/T = 1/5 s-1 ω = 2πf = 2π/5 rad/sec We can use ω = ωo + αt -1 ωo = 0 plus ω = 2π/5 s (at t = 10 s) gives 2π/5 = 0 + 10α. The angular acceleration is then α = 2π / (5 • 10) = π/25 radians/sec2. The tangential acceleration at (time-independent magnitude if α = const), can be found from the angular acceleration: 2 2 at = αr = (π/25) • 5 = π/5 m/s (or 0.63 m/s ) NOTE: even though at is constant, atot is not constant, since ac changes as the carousel accelerates. © 2001 by David Boal, Simon Fraser University.

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.

  • Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque
    Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque Every time we push a door open or tighten a bolt using a wrench, we apply a force that results in a rotational motion about a fixed axis. Through experience we learn that where the force is applied and how the force is applied is just as important as how much force is applied when we want to make something rotate. This tutorial discusses the dynamics of an object rotating about a fixed axis and introduces the concepts of torque and moment of inertia. These concepts allows us to get a better understanding of why pushing a door towards its hinges is not very a very effective way to make it open, why using a longer wrench makes it easier to loosen a tight bolt, etc. This module begins by looking at the kinetic energy of rotation and by defining a quantity known as the moment of inertia which is the rotational analog of mass. Then it proceeds to discuss the quantity called torque which is the rotational analog of force and is the physical quantity that is required to changed an object's state of rotational motion. Moment of Inertia Kinetic Energy of Rotation Consider a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis at a certain angular velocity. Since every particle in the object is moving, every particle has kinetic energy. To find the total kinetic energy related to the rotation of the body, the sum of the kinetic energy of every particle due to the rotational motion is taken. The total kinetic energy can be expressed as ..

  • The Effect of Spring Mass on the Oscillation Frequency
    The Effect of Spring Mass on the Oscillation Frequency Scott A. Yost University of Tennessee February, 2002 The purpose of this note is to calculate the effect of the spring mass on the oscillation frequency of an object hanging at the end of a spring. The goal is to find the limitations to a frequently-quoted rule that 1/3 the mass of the spring should be added to to the mass of the hanging object. This calculation was prompted by a student laboratory exercise in which it is normally seen that the frequency is somewhat lower than this rule would predict. Consider a mass M hanging from a spring of unstretched length l, spring constant k, and mass m. If the mass of the spring is neglected, the oscillation frequency would be ω = k/M. The quoted rule suggests that the effect of the spring mass would beq to replace M by M + m/3 in the equation for ω. This result can be found in some introductory physics textbooks, including, for example, Sears, Zemansky and Young, University Physics, 5th edition, sec. 11-5. The derivation assumes that all points along the spring are displaced linearly from their equilibrium position as the spring oscillates. This note will examine more general cases for the masses, including the limit M = 0. An appendix notes how the linear oscillation assumption breaks down when the spring mass becomes large. Let the positions along the unstretched spring be labeled by x, running from 0 to L, with 0 at the top of the spring, and L at the bottom, where the mass M is hanging.

    Flipping Physics Lecture Notes: A Tale of Three Accelerations or The Differences between Angular, Tangential, and Centripetal Accelerations https://www.flippingphysics.com/3-accelerations.html An object moving in a circle can have three different types of accelerations: Δω rad • Angular Acceleration: in is an angular quantity. α = 2 Δt s m • Tangential Acceleration: in is a linear quantity. at = rα 2 s v 2 m • Centripetal Acceleration: t 2 in is a linear quantity. ac = = rω 2 r s Angular acceleration separates itself from the others: 1) Because it is an angular quantity, whereas the other two are linear quantities. 2) Because angular acceleration applies to the whole rigid object, however, tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration are for a specific radius. A major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is their direction. • Centripetal means “center seeking”. Centripetal acceleration is always directed inward. • Tangential acceleration is always directed tangent to the circle. o By definition, tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration are perpendicular to one another. Another major difference between tangential acceleration and centripetal acceleration is that circular motion cannot exist without centripetal acceleration. • No centripetal acceleration means the object is not moving in a circle. o Centripetal acceleration results from the change in direction of the tangential velocity. If the tangential velocity is not changing directions, then the object is not moving in a circle. • Tangential acceleration results from the change in magnitude of the tangential velocity of an object. An object can move in a circle and not have any tangential acceleration. No tangential acceleration simply means the angular acceleration of the object is zero and the object is moving with a constant angular velocity.

  • The Harmonic Oscillator
    Appendix A The Harmonic Oscillator Properties of the harmonic oscillator arise so often throughout this book that it seemed best to treat the mathematics involved in a separate Appendix. A.1 Simple Harmonic Oscillator The harmonic oscillator equation dates to the time of Newton and Hooke. It follows by combining Newton’s Law of motion (F = Ma, where F is the force on a mass M and a is its acceleration) and Hooke’s Law (which states that the restoring force from a compressed or extended spring is proportional to the displacement from equilibrium and in the opposite direction: thus, FSpring =−Kx, where K is the spring constant) (Fig. A.1). Taking x = 0 as the equilibrium position and letting the force from the spring act on the mass: d2x M + Kx = 0. (A.1) dt2 2 = Dividing by the mass and defining ω0 K/M, the equation becomes d2x + ω2x = 0. (A.2) dt2 0 As may be seen by direct substitution, this equation has simple solutions of the form x = x0 sin ω0t or x0 = cos ω0t, (A.3) The original version of this chapter was revised: Pages 329, 330, 335, and 347 were corrected.

  • Forced Oscillation and Resonance
    Chapter 2 Forced Oscillation and Resonance The forced oscillation problem will be crucial to our understanding of wave phenomena. Complex exponentials are even more useful for the discussion of damping and forced oscil- lations. They will help us to discuss forced oscillations without getting lost in algebra. Preview In this chapter, we apply the tools of complex exponentials and time translation invariance to deal with damped oscillation and the important physical phenomenon of resonance in single oscillators. 1. We set up and solve (using complex exponentials) the equation of motion for a damped harmonic oscillator in the overdamped, underdamped and critically damped regions. 2. We set up the equation of motion for the damped and forced harmonic oscillator. 3. We study the solution, which exhibits a resonance when the forcing frequency equals the free oscillation frequency of the corresponding undamped oscillator. 4. We study in detail a specific system of a mass on a spring in a viscous fluid. We give a physical explanation of the phase relation between the forcing term and the damping. 2.1 Damped Oscillators Consider first the free oscillation of a damped oscillator. This could be, for example, a system of a block attached to a spring, like that shown in figure 1.1, but with the whole system immersed in a viscous fluid. Then in addition to the restoring force from the spring, the block 37 38 CHAPTER 2. FORCED OSCILLATION AND RESONANCE experiences a frictional force.
