Unit 2 Circular Motion Circular Motion The theory of circular motion is concerned with concepts we are familiar with,linear motion and linear acceleration, along with the new concepts of angular speed and angular acceleration. How do they relate to each other? Linear Motion r = position v = ππ = velocity ππ‘ = rate of change of position a = ππ£ = acceleration ππ‘ = rate of change of velocity Circular Motion π = angular position ππ ππ‘ π = = angular speed = rate of change of angle π = ππ£ = acceleration ππ‘ = rate of change of velocity When a particle moves along a straight line, itβs speed is calculated as the rate of change of distance. For a particle moving in a circle we find the speed by finding the rate at which the radius is turning. Tangential speed: A particle moving at constant speed v round a circle with centre O and radius r will at any instant be moving in the direction of the tangent to the circle, so its speed is referred to as the tangential speed. Angular Speed: This can be thought of as the rotational speed as the particle rotates around its axis. Denoted Ο and it is π equal to . Where π is in radians and time is in seconds. π‘ Ο π =π‘ = 2Ο x number of revolutons in 1 second If the angular speed is not constant, the definition of angular speed can be generalised as the rate of increase of the angle Ο΄ ππ with respect ot time i.e Ο = ππ‘ Period of Rotation: 2Ο T= Ο Uniform Circular Motion The general expressions for circular motion are quite complex the particular case of uniform circular motion is far simpler. With uniform circular motion π is constant and therefore π= 0 π= Hence if ο ππ ππ‘ = a constant = π π = πt + c (c is a constant of integration) If π = 0 when t = 0 then π= πt and then the equations become, π = (ππππ πt, rsinπt) = rer ππ v = ππ‘ = rπ(-sinπt, cosπt) = rπeπ ππ£ a = ππ‘ = -rπ2(cosπt,sinπt) = -rπ2eπ The magnitiudes of velocity and acceleration are: v = rπ a= -rπ2 = v2 r So despite having a constant speed given by v = rπ circular motion gives rise to an acceleration which is directed towards the origin. This acceleration occurs not because of a change in speed but because of a continuous change in direction whilst going round in a circle. The velocity vector is continuously changing and this must constitue an acceleration. If a body is accelerating while in circular motion there must be a force acting on it. F = ma = -mrπ2er =- mv2 e r r So circular motion requires a central force of magnitude mrπ2 or F = mrπ2 = ππ£2 π ππ£2 π , otherwise it will fly off in a straight line at constant speed. Example What is the speed of the top of a minute hand of a clock, where the hand is 7cm long? Find angular speed Ο= Ο= π π‘ 2Ο 60 x 60 Leave as a fraction ( final answer is more accurate) v=rΟ v=7x 2Ο 60 x 60 v = 0.00012 m/s Example 2 A particle has position vector at time t, in seconds, given by r = ( 2 + 3cos2t, 4 + 3sin2t) (a) Show that the motion is circular and (b) Find itβs velocity and acceleration. We need to show that the coordinates of the particle form the equation of a circle ο (x β a)2 + (y β b)2 = r2 So rearrange and equating gives: ο (x,y) = ( 2 + 3 cost2t, 4 + 3sin2t) Consider x component x = 2 + 3cos2t x β 2 = 3cos2t (x β 2)2 = 9cos22t Consider y component y = 4 + 3sin2t y β 4 = 3sin2t (y β 4)2 = 9sin22t ο (x β a)2 + (y β b)2 = r2 ο (x β 2)2 + (y β 4)2 = 9cos22t + 9sin22t = 9(cos22t + cos22t) ο (x β 2)2 + (y β 4)2 = 9 So path is a circle of radius 3 centre (2,4) (b) To find v we differentiate r r = ( 2 + 3cos2t, 4 + 3sin2t) ο v = π = (-6sin2t, 6cos2t) = 6( -sin2t, cos2t) Speed = π£ = 62 ( βπ ππ2π‘ Speed = 6m/s 2 + (πππ 2π‘)2) =1 To find a we differentiate v a = π£ = 6( -2cos2t, -2sin2t) = 12 (-cos2t, -sin2t) π = 122 ( βπππ 2π‘ π = 12 ms-2 2 + (βπ ππ2π‘)2 Expressions for a particles velocity and acceleration whilst executing circular motion can be established using vectors y r π Taking r = a constant and a varying π we get the following for the components of the position of r x r = rcosπ, rsinπ We can then differentiate this to find equivalent expressions for v and a. NOTE: (1) When differentiating trig terms with respect to time when π is itself a function of time we must use the chain rule π πππ π π(πππ π) ππ = . ππ‘ = βπ πππ.π So ππ₯ ππ (2) To then differentiate βπ πππ.π we need to use the product rule ο π(βπ πππ.π) ππ₯ = π π πππ ππ ππ . π + π πππ ππ‘ π π’π£ ππ₯ =v = πππ π ππ + sinπ π = πππ π π2 + sinπ π ππ’ ππ₯ ππ£ + π’ ππ₯ = π£π’β² + π’π£β² Hence π = (ππππ π, rsinπ) ππ v = ππ‘ = (-rsinπ π,rsinπ π ) = rπ(βπ πππ, πππ π) ππ£ a = ππ‘ = (-rπππ π π2 -rsinπ π, -rπ πππ π2 + rcosπ π) = -rπ2(cosπ,sin π) + r π(-sinπ,cos π) So that r = rer v = rπeπ a = -rπ 2er + rπ eπ Where er = (cosπ,sinπ) is the unit vector in the radial direction and eπ = (-sinπ,cosπ)is the unit vector in the tangential direction Since er . eπ = 0 they are perpendicular eπ er Banked Inclines Consider the forces acting on a car which is completing a turn on a banked incline β in the absence of friction. Note: The normal force is always perpendicular to the road surface When considering the net force acting we need to resolve forces vertically and horizontally So for our car N Ο΄ NcosΟ΄ Ο΄ mg Resolving forces Vertically : No accelerationο forces are balanced Mg = NcosΟ΄ Horizontally: Centripetal force (acceleration) acting towards centre of the turn ο NsinΟ΄ = ma So NsinΟ΄ is the force causing the acceleration Example A bob-sleigh with its two-person team has a total mass of 200Kg. On one stretch of the course the ream rounds a horizontal bend of radius 25 m at a speed of 35ms-1 . They bank the sleigh so that it rounds the bend with no sideways frictional force. (a) (b) (a) Calculate the acceleration of the sleigh as a multiple of g Find the angle to the horizontal at which the sleigh is banked. M = 200kg r = 25m v = 35ms-1 a=? a= a= π£2 π 352 25 a = 49 ms-2 a = 5g ms-2 49 ÷ 9.8 = 5 (b) Draw a force diagram Ο΄ N NcosΟ΄ NsinΟ΄ mg Ο΄ Resolving vertically NcosΟ΄ = mg NcosΟ΄ = 200g Resolving horizontally NsinΟ΄ = ma NsinΟ΄ = 200 x 5g = 1000g ο tan Ο΄ = NsinΞΈ NcosΞΈ ο tan Ο΄ = 1000g 200g ο tan Ο΄ = 5 ο Ο΄ = 78.7o The Conical Pendulum One end of a string of length l, is tied to a hook, and a particle of mass m is attached to the other end. With the string taut and making an angle Ο΄ with the downward vertical, the particle is set in motion so that it rotates in a horizontal circle about the vertical line through the hook. Find the period of one revolution of the particle around the circle. Using trig we can see that Height (h) Ο΄ l radius = lsinΟ΄ Radius To answer questions like this we resolve our forces horizontally and vertically Vertically Horizontally TcosΟ΄ = mg TsinΟ΄ = ma TsinΟ΄ = mrΟ2 The TsinΟ΄ force causes the centripetal acceleration TsinΟ΄ = mlsinΟ΄Ο2 TcosΟ΄ Ο΄ Tension (T) TsinΟ΄ ο T= mlΟ2 mg Substitute this value of T into the vertical equation mlΟ2cosΟ΄ ο = mg Ο= g lcosΞΈ 2π Since the time (T) to complete one revolution would be π 2π ο T= ππππ π g T = 2π lcosΞΈ π NOTE: Since lcosΟ΄ is just the depth h below the hook the means the period of revolution can be written as 2Ο β . π This is independent of l, Ο΄ and m. Meaning that if you have a number of particles (potentially of different mass) attached to strings of different lengths, all moving in circular paths at the same depth below the hook, they will all take the same time to make a complete revolution Example A stone of mass 0. 5kg is attached to one end of a light inextensible string of length 0.4 metres. The other end of the string is attached to a fixed point O. The stone is released from rest with the string taut, and inclined at an angle of 40° below the horizontal through O. (a) Calculate the speed of the Particle as it passes beneath O. (b) Calculate the speed of the stone when the string makes an angle of 20° with the vertical through O. (a) Calculate the speed of the Particle as it passes beneath O.

First watch this (again) Vertical circle and conservation of energy So since the mass was released from rest at and angle of 40° below the horizontal the 20° referred to here must be to the downward vertical (since 20° to the upward vertical would be higher than where it started) Gain in height ο Gain in EP and loss in EK O 20° Gain in EP = mgr β mgrcos20 = mg(r β rcos20) Loss in EK = rcos20 1 1 mu2- mv2 2 2 Notice itβs u first r ο 1 1 mg(r β rcos20) = 2 mu2- 2 mv2 1 1 rg β rgcos20 = 2 (1.67)2- 2 v2 v2 = 1.672 β 2rg + 2rgcos20 v= 1.672 β 2 x 0.8 x 9.8 + 2 x 0.8 x 9.8 x cos 20 v = 1.53 ms-1 Complete β vertical circle worksheet Gravitiation gravitational Force - 3mins It is only comparatively close to the surface of the Earth that the force of gravity can be considered to be constant. As a body travels further from the Earth the force of gravity decreases. Newtonβs inverse square law of gravitation states that the magnitude of the force of attraction between two particles is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two particles. We will use Newtonβs Universal Law of Gravitation πΊππ F= π2 Where G is the universal constant of Gravitation G = 6.67 x 10-11 m3kg-1s-2 We can easily re-arrange this formula to find an expression for GM. This can help us when solving problems of this type. πΊππ F= π2 mg = πΊππ π2 mgr 2 = πΊππ gr 2 = πΊπ πΊπ = ππ 2 Example 1 A satellite moves with constant speed in a circular orbit around a planet, at the surface of which the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 7.8 ms-2. The radius of the planet is 7500 kilometres and the satellite orbits at a height of h kilometres above the surface of the planet, in a plane through the centre of the planet. At this height the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity is 6.6 ms-2. Calculate h. Example 2 A satellite moves in a circular orbit around the earth in the plane of the equator at a height of 920 kilometres above the surface of the Earth, of radius 6400 kilometres. Calculate (a) the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at this height and (b) the time for a complete revolution. Example 3 A satellite moves in a circular orbit around a planet of radius 3500 kilometres. The constant speed of the satellite is 3200 ms-1 and it takes 130 minutes to complete one orbit. Calculate the height of the satellite above the surface of the planet. Given that the mass of the satellite is 120 kilograms, and that the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the planet is 4.2 ms-2, calculate the magnitude of the force due to gravity experienced by the satellite while in orbit.
