radius of arms is large and so
inertia is also large
since radius is small, inertia is
small and so the skater is less
likely to resist change in rotation
Application of Inertia
o moment of inertia for a skater
o the mass of our skater will be 50 kg.
Her torso and standing leg are about
40 kg. The radius of the skater will
be 0.1meter. Her torso and one leg
will be represented by a cylinder so
the moment of1 inertia
will be

I  mR

o this is the moment of inertia around her torso
and standing leg

o now, we have to find the moment of inertia for her arms and other
leg as they move closer to the body
o in this caseI  MR 2
o this is the moment of inertia of her arm and leg
IB  (50kg  40kg)(0.1m) 2

o this diagram represents the basic inertia of the skater
(central axis) and the circle she creates
o to find the total moment of inertia, we can add the inertia of the
torso/leg with the inertia of the arms/leg

Rotation [Calculus of Torque]
o torque is the type of force that makes something rotate
o there is no net torque when angular momentum is conserved
o the equation for torque is defined by
T  I
 Inertia  AngularAcceleration
o since during a scratch spin, angular momentum changes, so there
is a net torque acting on the skater

Energy
o to better understand how
potential and kinetic energy
works, rotation and torque will
be negligent
o the skill that also best fits this
type of criteria would be the
split jump
o something to always keep in
mind is that energy is always
conserved and neither created
nor destroyed
Starting with Potential
o as with any jump or skill, the skater
needs to build up or increase the
amount of potential energy they have
before executing a move
by definition potential energy
o since
by definition
potential energy is
is independent
of motion
independent of motion
o this means that the potential energy of
a skater is the amount of energy
stored in muscle power
o after a skater jumps, their muscle
power potential energy is converted to
kinetic energy, which is then converted
to gravitational potential energy (at the
very top of their flight), and then
converted back to kinetic once they
Kinetic Energy
o if potential energy is the amount
of energy when an object is not in
motion,
thenenergy

o the sum of kinetic and potential
energy is mechanical energy
o assuming
there
are
no
nonconservative forces (such as
friction), then mechanical energy
is conserved
sinceof energy

always conserved – Law of

o this basically means that the
initial mechanical energy of the
skater is equal to the final
mechanical energy

Further into Energy
o How does potential and
kinetic energy all relate to
the skater?
o First of all, potential is
U  mgh
mass  gravity  height
o This would be applied as
the mass of the skater
multiplied by gravity (a
constant) multiplied by
the skater’s height
