Circular Motion
• Linear speed - the distance moved per unit time. Also called
simply speed.
• Rotational speed - the number of rotations or revolutions per
unit time.
• Rotational speed is often measured in revolutions per minute
(RPM).

Circular Motion
• The linear speed is directly proportional to both rotational
speed and radial distance.
v=wr
• What are two ways that you can increase your linear speed on
a rotating platform?

Rotational Inertia
•
An object rotating about an axis tends to remain rotating unless
interfered with by some external influence.
•
This influence is called torque.
•
Rotation adds stability to linear motion.
– Examples:
• spinning football
• bicycle tires
• Frisbee
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012

Rotational Inertia
• The greater the distance between the bulk of an object's mass
and its axis of rotation, the greater the rotational inertia.

Torque
• Torque is the product of the force and lever-arm distance, which
tends to produce rotation.
• Torque = force  lever arm
– Examples:
• wrenches
• see-saws
Newton’s First Law for Rotation
St = 0, no rotational motion !!!

Class Problem
•
James finds it difficult to muster
enough torque to turn the
stubborn bolt with the wrench.
He wishes he had a pipe handy
to effectively lengthen the
wrench handle, but doesn't. He
does, however, have a piece of
rope. Will torque be increased if
he pulls as hard on the rope as
shown?
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
13
Class Problem
•
No, the torque will be the same
because the lever-arm distance
is the same in both cases. The
lever arm is not the distance
between axis of turning and the
point of application of the force,
but the distance from the turning
axis to the "line of action" of the
applied force. Note the line of
action, and hence the lever arm
is the same in both cases.
The pipe that extends the length
of the wrench handle puts the
line of action farther from the
turning axis—the rope does not.

Center of Mass
• The center of mass of an object
is the average position of mass.
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
16
Center of Mass
Objects tend to rotate about their center of mass.
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012

Class Problem
•
The broom balances at its center of gravity. If you saw the broom into two
parts through the center of gravity and then weigh each part on a scale, which
part will weigh more?
1)
2)
3)
Handle side
Brush Side
Both weigh the same
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
18
Class Problem
•
The short broom part is heavier. It
balances the long handle just as
kids of unequal weights can balance
on a seesaw when the heavier kid
sits closer to the fulcrum. Both the
balanced broom and seesaw are
evidence of equal and opposite
torques—not weights.
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
19
Class Problem
•
The 40-kg woman stands at the end of a 4-meter long uniform
plank. If the maximum overhang for balance is 1 meter, estimate
the mass of the plank.

Class Problem
•
The mass of the plank is about 40kg. The plank tends to rotate like a seesaw about
a pivot point at the end of the building. Her weight multiplied by 1 meter produces a
torque that tends to rotate the system clockwise. The counterbalancing torque is
produced by the weight of the plank multiplied by the distance from the pivot point to
the plank's center of gravity. Note that this distance is also 1 meter. So both the
woman and the plank weigh the same. Their masses are equal.

Stability
• For stability center of gravity must be over area of support.
• Examples:
• Tower of Pisa
• Touching toes with legs against wall
• Meter stick over the edge
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
22
Angular Momentum
• Another conserved quantity is angular momentum, relating to
rotational inertia:
• Spinning wheel wants to keep on spinning, stationary wheel
wants to keep still (unless acted upon by an external rotational
force, or torque)
• Newton’s laws for linear (straight-line) motion have direct
analogs in rotational motion
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012
23
Conservation of Angular Momentum
• angular momentum = rotational inertia x rotational velocity
L=Iw
• Newton's first law for rotating systems:
– “A body will maintain its state of angular momentum unless acted
upon by an unbalanced external torque.”
Physics 1100 – Spring 2012

Centripetal Force
• …is applied by some object.
• Centripetal means "center seeking".
Centrifugal Force
• …results from a natural tendency.
• Centrifugal means "center fleeing".
