Enough with the particles…
• Do you ever get tired of being treated like a particle?
• We can not continue to lump all objects together and pretend that they undergo the same motion when acted upon by the same force…
• We will now study the rotation of rigid bodies.

What do we already know?
Objects rotate about their
center of mass.
For rotational motion it is useful to consider
tangential and radial
components instead of x
and yIdeas of circular
motion and centripetal
force.

What is a rigid body?• An extended object whose size
and shape do not change as it moves.
• This size and shape can not be neglected when modeling its motion.
• Objects that are held together by “massless rods” of molecular bonds.
• Some objects can be modeled as rigid during parts of their motion.

Moment of Inertia• Has nothing to do with a moment in time. The
word comes from the Latin momentum which means motion.
• The rotational analog to mass.• Describes the distribution of mass relative to the
axis of rotation.• Is different for each shape and orientation.• An object with a large mass is hard to accelerate,
an object with a large moment of inertia is difficult to rotate.
![Page 24: Rotational Mechanics](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062301/568161d9550346895dd1e14d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Moment of Inertia (Rotational Laziness)
• Inertia is the resistance to changes in motion• Moment of inertia is the resistance to
changes in rotation.

Note about the axis…
If the rotation axis is not through the center of mass, then rotation may cause the center of mass to move up
or down in a gravitational field. The gravitational potential energy of the object will change as it spins.
With no friction in the axle or other dissipative forces, the mechanical
energy can be described as:

Calculating Moment of Inertia:
Like finding inertia, we can not simply place the object on a scale to find its
moment of inertia. We must go through the calculation.
I ri2miRecall: Moment of Inertia can be calculated as
the sum of the contributions from each particle in an object
as Δm approaches zero it can be replaced with the differential dm.

Calculating Moment of Inertia: Tips
I r2dmBreak the object into elements that you will sum
together. Do this in a way that keeps the same distance from the axis for all particles in each element.
You will sum the elements over a range of distances so you must find an expression to substitute dm with a
differential dx, dy, or dz.

inertia for rotational axes that run through the center of mass. This
theorem helps us if we wish to use an off-center axis but know where it is in relation to a parallel, on-center axis.

Newton’s 2nd Law:
A net torque causes a particles angular
momentum to change.
The rate of change of a systems
angular momentum is the net torque on
the system.

Conservation of Angular Momentum:The angular momentum of an isolated (no
external torques) system is conserved.

A note on direction:Why is it easier to balance a bike
when the wheels are spinning than when they are not?An object with a large linear momentum is
difficult to slow down or to knock it off of its straight line path.An object with a large angular momentum is
difficult to slow down or to change the direction of its axis
