ROTATIONAL ENERGY

Each particle in a rigid rotating body has kinetic energy.

axle

The sum of all the individual kinetic energies of each of the particles is the rotational kinetic energy of the body:

Krot = ½ m1v12 + ½ m2v2

2 + …

Krot = ½ m1r122 + ½ m2r2

22 + …

Krot = ½ (m1r12)2

Krot = ½ I2

K U Emech = K + U

Emech = 0

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

As usual, energy is conserved (in frictionless systems).

If, however, a horizontal axis of rotation does not coincide with the centre of mass, the object’s potential energy will vary.

So we write:

Emech = Krot + Ug = ½ I2 + MgyCM

ROLLING MOTION

Rolling is a combination of rotation and translation. (We shall consider only objects which roll without slipping.)As a wheel (or sphere) rolls along a flat surface…

each point on the rim describes a cycloid;

the axle (the centre of mass) moves in a straight line, covering a distance of 2R each revolution;

the speed of the wheel is given byCM

FUNNY THING ABOUT THE CYCLOID…

SQUARE wheels!

ROLLING MOTION

The velocity of a particle on a wheel consists of two parts: CM , reli iv v v

KINETIC ENERGY OF A ROLLING OBJECT

If we regard P as an instantaneous axis of rotation, the object’s motion simplifies to one of pure rotation, and thus its kinetic energy is given by:

K = Krot about P = ½ IP2

v = R

v = 2R

v = 0

P

Using the parallel axis theorem,

IP = (ICM + MR2)

K = ½ ICM2 + ½ M(R)2

K = ½ ICM2 + ½ M(vCM)2

I.e. K = Krot + KCM

VECTOR DESCRIPTION OF ROTATIONAL MOTION

Using only “clockwise” and “counterclockwise” is the rotational analogue of using “backwards” and “forwards” in rectilinear kinematics. A more general handling of rotational motion requires vector quantities.The vector associated with a rotational quantity…

has magnitude equal to the magnitude of that quantity;

has direction as given by the right-hand rule.

E.g. The angular velocity vector, , of this anticlockwise-turning disc points…

in the positive z-direction.

THE CROSS PRODUCT

Once again, the quantity rF sin is the product of two

vectors, and , at an angle to each other. This

time, however, we use the orthogonal components to determine the cross product of the vectors: .
