Rotation
In this chapter we will study the rotational motion of rigid bodies
about a fixed axis To describe this type of motion we will introduce the following new concepts:
-Angular displacement -Average and instantaneous angular velocity (symbol: ω ) -Average and instantaneous angular acceleration
(symbol: α ) -Rotational inertia also known as moment of inertia (symbol I ) -Torque (symbol τ )
We will also calculate the kinetic energy associated with rotation,
write Newton’s second law for rotational motion, and introduce the work-kinetic energy for rotational motion
(10-1)
Trang 2The Rotational Variables
In this chapter we will study the rotational motion of rigid
bodies about fixed axes A rigid body is defined as one
that can rotate with all its parts locked together and without
any change of its shape A fixed axis means that the object
rotates about an axis that does not move We can describe the motion of a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis by
specifying just one parameter Consider the rigid body of
the figure
We take the the z-axis to be the fixed axis of rotation We define a reference
line which is fixed in the rigid body and is perpendicular to the rotational axis
A top view is shown in the lower picture The angular position of the reference
line at any time t is defined by the angle θ(t)t) that the reference lines makes with the position at t = 0 The angle θ(t)t) also defines the position of all the points on the rigid body because all the points are locked as they rotate The angle θ is related to the arc length s traveled by a point at a distance r from the axis via
the equation: Note: The angle θ is measured in radians s
