Circular Motion and Newton's Law of Gravitation CIRCULAR MOTION AND NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION I. Speed and Velocity Speed is distance divided by time…is it any different for an object moving around a circle? The distance around a circle is C = 2πr, where r is the radius of the circle So average speed must be the circumference divided by the time to get around the circle once C 2πr one trip around the circle is v = = known as the period. We’ll use T T big T to represent this time SINCE THE SPEED INCREASES WITH RADIUS, CAN YOU VISUALIZE THAT IF YOU WERE SITTING ON A SPINNING DISK, YOU WOULD SPEED UP IF YOU MOVED CLOSER TO THE OUTER EDGE OF THE DISK? 1 These four dots each make one revolution around the disk in the same time, but the one on the edge goes the longest distance. It must be moving with a greater speed. Remember velocity is a vector. The direction of velocity in circular motion is on a tangent to the circle. The direction of the vector is ALWAYS changing in circular motion. 2 II. ACCELERATION If the velocity vector is always changing EQUATIONS: in circular motion, THEN AN OBJECT IN CIRCULAR acceleration in circular MOTION IS ACCELERATING. motion can be written as, THE ACCELERATION VECTOR POINTS v2 INWARD TO THE CENTER OF THE a = MOTION. r Pick two v points on the path. 2 Subtract head to tail…the 4π r v resultant is the change in v or a = 2 f T the acceleration vector vi a a Assignment: check the units -vi and do the algebra to make vf sure you believe these equations Note that the acceleration vector points in 3 III. Centripetal and Centrifugal Force If the acceleration vector points inward, there must be an inward force as well. vf v a i The INWARD FORCE on an object in circular motion is called CENTRIPETAL FORCE Without centripetal force, an object could not maintain a circular motion path. The velocity vector is telling you the object wants to go straight. Centripetal force acts in a direction perpendicular to the velocity vector (the force, as it must be, is in the same direction as the acceleration). Centripetal force causes the acceleration NOT by increasing (or changing) speed but by changing direction 4 The outward force is fictitious. It is called CENTRIFUGAL force. you in the you before turn curve you FAST merry-go-round car direction before curve You feel like you are being Banking into a left curve, you feel pushed outward when you like you are being thrown by an are on a circular motion path. outward force to the right. This is only because your That’s not a real force. That’s you, moving body WANTS to wanting to continue in your travel tangentially to the straight line path (your inertia resists circular path. the change) meeting the side of the car that is moving in a circle. The only thing keeping you in a circle is YOU holding on. You stay in a circular path thanks to your seat belt and the closed door of the car. 5 III. Some Equations for Circular Motion We know from Newton’s 2nd Law that F = ma Here’s how the equation applies to circular motion v2 F = m r Using these equations, you can solve problems involving force on objects moving in a circular path. 4π 2r F = m T 2 6 Example problem A 945‐kg car makes a 180‐degree turn with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The radius of the circle through which the car is turning is 25.0 m. Determine the force of fricon acng upon the car. This problem is way easier than it sounds. You just need to realize what the source and direction of the friction force is. A car “in a 180 degree turn” just means it is in a circular motion path. F F norm = F grav norm 25 m Ffrict F frict = F net 2 Fgrav v F = m frict r m (10 )2 s The frictional force points inward. It is the Ffrcit = 945kg centripetal force required to keep the car 25m on the road in a circle. Ffrict = 3780N 7 IV. NEWTON”S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION • Newton applied his ideas about why objects fall to earth to planetary orbits • Basically he hypothesized that the Moon falls around the Earth for the same reason an object (like an apple?) falls toward the Earth…an attractive force he called GRAVITY path of projectile without gravity Assuming no air resistance… Newton reasoned that if one could launch a projectile with sufficient speed that its horizontal path followed the Earth’s curvature, the force of gravity would cause it to “fall around” the Earth. The projectile would always fall toward the Earth without ever striking it. Launch speeds too low, as we know from experience, crash to the Earth due to gravity According to Newton, the projectile falling around the Earth was an analogy for the Moon orbiting the Earth 8 • Newton knew that objects near the Earth accelerated by 9.8 m/s2 • He also knew the Moon accelerated toward the Earth by 0.00272 m/s2 • WHY THE DIFFERENCE IF GRAVITY CAUSES AN OBJECT TO FALL AND THE MOON TO ORBIT THE EARTH? Now look at the ratio of the distances of Look at the ratio of the accelerations: from the surface of the Earth to its center and the Moon to the center of the Earth: m 9.8 2 1 s = 6378km 1 m = 0.00272 3600 382680km 60 s2 COMPARE THE TWO RATIOS ABOVE m 9.8 2 6378km 1 THIS SAYS THAT GRAVITY s = ( )2 = m 382680km 3600 DECREASES AS THE INVERSE 0.00272 SQUARE OF DISTANCE s2 9 NEWTON SHOWED: 1 F ∝ r2 Force of attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance Earth’s gravity force represented with separating them vectors. The arrows are smaller further away from Earth but still directed to the center of Earth The Moon, being very far from the Earth, is less influenced by its gravity and so accelerates more slowly toward the Earth. This not explain the source of the Moon’s velocity 10 Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is: F F m m 1 2 1 2 m m2 F grav = G 1 r2 r The force of attraction between two objects is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE PRODUCT OF THEIR MASSES INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM The universal gravitational constant, G, was ingeniously determined by Cavendish in the 1700s. The value is use today is m G = 6.67428 × 10−11 N( )2 kg 11 V. Computing gravitational acceleration Using the Universal Gravitational equation, we can derive an equation that allows you to compute the acceleration of gravity for other objects (besides Earth) m1mEarth F grav = G r2 m m m g = G 1 Earth 1 r2 m g = G Earth r2 mplanet r is the radius of the generally, g = G planet r2 12 VI. SATTELITE MOTION Remember the projectile falling around the Earth earlier in the notes? Remember the discussion of the Moon falling around the Earth? This type of motion is the same as satellite motion and we can derive an equation for the velocity of a satellite orbiting the Earth using our equations for circular motion, centripetal force and universal gravitation. A satellite in circular orbit, like a car rounding a curve MUST experience a centripetal force. v2 …and the acceleration of the F net = msat the satellite is like the r acceleration due to msat mEarth gravity equation on the F grav = G r2 last page… F net = F grav mEarth v2 m m g = G m = G sat Earth r2 sat r r2 mEarth 2 mEarth v = G asat = G 2 r r velocity of satellite m orbiting Earth a v = G Earth distance r from the center r 13 .

  • Two Worked out Examples of Rotations Using Quaternions
    TWO WORKED OUT EXAMPLES OF ROTATIONS USING QUATERNIONS This note is an attachment to the article \Rotations and Quaternions" which in turn is a companion to the video of the talk by the same title. Example 1. Determine the image of the point (1; −1; 2) under the rotation by an angle of 60◦ about an axis in the yz-plane that is inclined at an angle of 60◦ to the positive y-axis. p ◦ ◦ 1 3 Solution: The unit vector u in the direction of the axis of rotation is cos 60 j + sin 60 k = 2 j + 2 k. The quaternion (or vector) corresponding to the point p = (1; −1; 2) is of course p = i − j + 2k. To find −1 θ θ the image of p under the rotation, we calculate qpq where q is the quaternion cos 2 + sin 2 u and θ the angle of rotation (60◦ in this case). The resulting quaternion|if we did the calculation right|would have no constant term and therefore we can interpret it as a vector. That vector gives us the answer. p p p p p We have q = 3 + 1 u = 3 + 1 j + 3 k = 1 (2 3 + j + 3k). Since q is by construction a unit quaternion, 2 2 2 4 p4 4 p −1 1 its inverse is its conjugate: q = 4 (2 3 − j − 3k). Now, computing qp in the routine way, we get 1 p p p p qp = ((1 − 2 3) + (2 + 3 3)i − 3j + (4 3 − 1)k) 4 and then another long but routine computation gives 1 p p p qpq−1 = ((10 + 4 3)i + (1 + 2 3)j + (14 − 3 3)k) 8 The point corresponding to the vector on the right hand side in the above equation is the image of (1; −1; 2) under the given rotation.

  • We Can Think of a Complex Number a + Bi As the Point (A, B) in the Xy Plane
    We can think of a complex number a + bi as the point (a, b) in the xy plane. In this representation, a is the x coordinate and b is the y coordinate.The x−axis is called the real axis and the y−axis the imaginary axis, and we refer to this plane as the complex plane. Example: The complex number 3 − 2i can be viewed as the point (3; −2) in the complex plane. Given a complex number z = x + yi, we define the magnitude of z, written jzj, as: jzj = px2 + y2. Graphically, the magniture of z is the distance between z (viewed as a point on the xy plane) and the origin. imaginary axis z = x + yi 2 y 2 + x p y j = jz real axis O x Graphically, if we add two complex number, we are adding the two numbers by treating them as vectors and adding like vector addition. For example, Let z = 5 + 2i, w = 1 + 6i, then z + w = (5 + 2i) + (1 + 6i) = (5 + 1) + (2 + 6)i = 6 + 8i In order to interpret multiplication of two complex numbers, let's look again at the complex number represented as a point on the complex plane. This time, we let r = px2 + y2 be the magnitude of z. Let 0 ≤ θ < 2π be the angle in standard position with z being its terminal point. We call θ the argument of the complex number z: imaginary axis imaginary axis z = x + yi z = x + yi 2 y 2 + p x r j = y y jz = r θ real axis θ real axis O x O x By definition of sine and cosine, we have x cos(θ) = ) x = r cos(θ) r y sin(θ) = ) y = r sin(θ) r We have obtained the polar representation of a complex number: Suppose z = x + yi is a complex number with (x; y) in rectangular coordinate.

  • Chapter 4: Circular Motion
    Chapter 4: Circular Motion ! Why do pilots sometimes black out while pulling out at the bottom of a power dive? ! Are astronauts really "weightless" while in orbit? ! Why do you tend to slide across the car seat when the car makes a sharp turn? Make sure you know how to: 1. Find the direction of acceleration using the motion diagram. 2. Draw a force diagram. 3. Use a force diagram to help apply Newton’s second law in component form. CO: Ms. Kruti Patel, a civilian test pilot, wears a special flight suit and practices special breathing techniques to prevent dizziness, disorientation, and possibly passing out as she pulls out of a power dive. This dizziness, or worse, is called a blackout and occurs when there is a lack of blood to the head and brain. Tony Wayne in his book Ride Physiology describes the symptoms of blackout. As the acceleration climbs up toward 7 g , “you … can no longer see color. … An instant later, … your field of vision is shrinking. It now looks like you are seeing things through a pipe. … The visual pipe's diameter is getting smaller and smaller. In a flash you see black. You have just "blacked out." You are unconscious …” Why does blackout occur and why does a special suit prevent blackout? Our study of circular motion in this chapter will help us understand this and other interesting phenomena. Lead In the previous chapters we studied the motion of objects when the sum of the forces exerted on them was constant in terms of magnitude and direction.

  • Radian Measurement
    Radian Measurement: What It Is, and How to Calculate It More Easily Using τ Instead of π by Stanley M. Max Adjunct Faculty Towson University Radian measurement In trigonometry, pre-calculus, and higher mathematics, angles are usually measured not in degrees but in radians. Why? To some extent the answer to that question requires studying first- semester calculus. Even at the level of trigonometry and pre-calculus, however, we can partially answer the question. Using radians offers a more efficient system for measuring angles involving more than one rotation. Quick, how many degrees does an angle have that spins around eight-and-a-half times? By using radians, we shall see how speedily you can find the answer. So then, what is a radian? Mathematically, a radian is defined by the following formula: s rad , where the symbol means “is defined as” (1.01) r In this formula, represents the angle being measured, s represents arc length, r represents radius, and rad means radians. Look at the following diagram: Figure 1: Arc length (s) = radius (r) when θ = 1 rad. Graphic created using Mathematica, v. 8. This picture shows that the angle is measured as the ratio of the arc length (s) to the radius (r) of an imaginary circle, and if the angular measurement is made in that fashion, then the measurement is made in radians. Now suppose that s equals r. In that case, equals one radian. In other words, one radian is the measurement of an angle that is opened just wide enough for the following to happen: If the angle is located at the center of a circle, then the length of the arc that the angle intercepts on the circumference will exactly equal the length of the radius of the circle.

  • 4 Trigonometry and Complex Numbers
    4 Trigonometry and Complex Numbers Trigonometry developed from the study of triangles, particularly right triangles, and the relations between the lengths of their sides and the sizes of their angles. The trigono- metric functions that measure the relationships between the sides of similar triangles have far-reaching applications that extend far beyond their use in the study of triangles. Complex numbers were developed, in part, because they complete, in a useful and ele- gant fashion, the study of the solutions of polynomial equations. Complex numbers are useful not only in mathematics, but in the other sciences as well. Trigonometry Most of the trigonometric computations in this chapter use six basic trigonometric func- tions The two fundamental trigonometric functions, sine and cosine, can be de¿ned in terms of the unit circle—the set of points in the Euclidean plane of distance one from the origin. A point on this circle has coordinates +frv w> vlq w,,wherew is a measure (in radians) of the angle at the origin between the positive {-axis and the ray from the ori- gin through the point measured in the counterclockwise direction. The other four basic trigonometric functions can be de¿ned in terms of these two—namely, vlq { 4 wdq { @ vhf { @ frv { frv { frv { 4 frw { @ fvf { @ vlq { vlq { 3 ?w? For 5 , these functions can be found as a ratio of certain sides of a right triangle that has one angle of radian measure w.

  • Section 8.3 Polar Form of Complex Numbers 527
    Section 8.3 Polar Form of Complex Numbers 527 Section 8.3 Polar Form of Complex Numbers From previous classes, you may have encountered “imaginary numbers” – the square roots of negative numbers – and, more generally, complex numbers which are the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. While these are useful for expressing the solutions to quadratic equations, they have much richer applications in electrical engineering, signal analysis, and other fields. Most of these more advanced applications rely on properties that arise from looking at complex numbers from the perspective of polar coordinates. We will begin with a review of the definition of complex numbers. Imaginary Number i The most basic complex number is i, defined to be i = −1 , commonly called an imaginary number . Any real multiple of i is also an imaginary number. Example 1 Simplify − 9 . We can separate − 9 as 9 −1. We can take the square root of 9, and write the square root of -1 as i. − 9 = 9 −1 = 3i A complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number. Complex Number A complex number is a number z = a + bi , where a and b are real numbers a is the real part of the complex number b is the imaginary part of the complex number i = −1 Plotting a complex number We can plot real numbers on a number line. For example, if we wanted to show the number 3, we plot a point: 528 Chapter 8 imaginary To plot a complex number like 3 − 4i , we need more than just a number line since there are two components to the number.

  • The Role of Language in Learning Physics
    THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN LEARNING PHYSICS BY DAVID T. BROOKES A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Physics and Astronomy Written under the direction of Prof. Eugenia Etkina and approved by New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2006 c 2006 David T. Brookes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Role of Language in Learning Physics by David T. Brookes Dissertation Director: Prof. Eugenia Etkina Many studies in PER suggest that language poses a serious difficulty for students learn- ing physics. These difficulties are mostly attributed to misunderstanding of specialized terminology. This terminology often assigns new meanings to everyday terms used to describe physical models and phenomena. In this dissertation I present a novel ap- proach to analyzing of the role of language in learning physics. This approach is based on the analysis of the historical development of physics ideas, the language of modern physicists, and students’ difficulties in the areas of quantum mechanics, classical me- chanics, and thermodynamics. These data are analyzed using linguistic tools borrowed from cognitive linguistics and systemic functional grammar. Specifically, I combine the idea of conceptual metaphor and grammar to build a theoretical framework that accounts for • the role and function that language serves for physicists when they speak and reason about physical ideas and phenomena, • specific features of students’ reasoning and difficulties that may be related to or derived from language that students read or hear. ii The theoretical framework is developed using the methodology of a grounded theo- retical approach.

Print this page In this section we shall review the definition of a complex 10.1 number and discuss the addition, subtraction, and COMPLEX multiplication of such numbers. We will also consider matrices with complex entries and explain how addition and NUMBERS subtraction of complex numbers can be viewed as operations on vectors. Complex Numbers Since for every real number x, the equation has no real solutions. To deal with this problem, mathematicians of the eighteenth century introduced the “imaginary” number, which they assumed had the property but which otherwise could be treated like an ordinary number. Expressions of the form (1) where a and b are real numbers, were called “complex numbers,” and these were manipulated according to the standard rules of arithmetic with the added property that . By the beginning of the nineteenth century it was recognized that a complex number 1 could be regarded as an alternative symbol for the ordered pair of real numbers, and that operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division could be defined on these ordered pairs so that the familiar laws of arithmetic hold and . This is the approach we will follow.
