Rotational motion Look at one point P: Arc length s: Thus the angle (angular position) is: Planar, rigid object rotating about origin O. q is measured in degrees or radians (SI unit: radian) Full circle has an angle of 2 p radians. Thus, one radian is 360°/2 p = 57. 3 Radian 2 p p p/2 1 degrees 360° 180° 90° 57. 3°

Define quantities for circular motion (note analogies to linear motion!!) Angular displacement: Average angular speed: Instantaneous angular speed: Average angular acceleration: Instantaneous angular acceleration:

Angular velocity is a vector Right-hand rule for determining the direction of this vector. Every particle (of a rigid object): • rotates through the same angle, • has the same angular velocity, • has the same angular acceleration. q, w, a characterize rotational motion of entire object

Moment of inertia (rotational inertia) of an object depends on: - the axis about which the object is rotated. - the mass of the object. - the distance between the mass(es) and the axis of rotation.

Calculation of Moments of inertia for continuous extended objects Refer to Table 10. 2 Note that the moments of inertia are different for different axes of rotation (even for the same object)
