  Evaluate Numerically to find the number of times the record turns while it’s slowing down.

  The record turns about 2.8 times while it’s slowing down.

  When the angular acceleration is not constant, you must use calculus to describe the object’s rotational motion. The angular velocity is the rate of change of the angular displacement.

  (7.9)

  If you know the angular position as a function of time, you can calculate the Angular Speed.

  The angular acceleration is the rate of change of Angular Speed.

  (7.10)

  If you know the Angular Speed as a function of time, you can calculate the angular acceleration. From these definitions we can derive four basic equations which describe the angular position and speed of objects rotating with a varying acceleration.

  (7.11a)

  (7.11b)

  (7.11c)

  (7.11d)

  For varying angular acceleration, the average angular velocity does not equal the arithmetic average of the initial and final angular velocities.

  The Compact Disk

  The rotational motion of a CD is an excellent example of nonuniform rotational motion with a time-dependent acceleration. To read the information on a record, a needle starts at the outer edge and follows a single spiral track while the disk rotates at a constant Angular Speed. To read the information on a CD, a laser starts at the inner radius and follows a single spiral track while the disk rotates at a decreasing Angular Speed. This ensures the data-read rate, which is proportional to the linear speed, is constant. [31]

  The data on a typical CD is stored between R0 = 2.3 cm and Rf = 5.8 cm, and the spacing between tracks is Δr = 1.6 μm/rev. We can use Evaluate Numerically

  The units of angular velocity are degrees, radians, or revolutions, per unit time. Angular Displacement The angle through which a body rotates in time t is called the angular displacement. It is related to and t by the following equation: Angular Displacement 1026 The angular displacement is the product of the angular velocity and the elapsed time. u  vt v u v cos D  sin L 1 sin L 2  cos L 1 cos L 2 cos(M 1  M 2 ) rs/2, u  s> r , area  r 2 u/2 u 1 4 60° s  A(r  0.4t)p 180 15°2505 28.3°. 3.75 in.

Figure 12.1 12.2 Angular Speed Using this notation, s r . Differentiating this with respect to time using the product rule gives: d d s t r d d t d d r t . Since r is constant for a circle, d d r t 0, so the rate at which the arc length increases is: d d s t r d d t or s . r . . In this equation s . is the speed at which P is moving round the circle (often denoted by v ), and . is the rate at which the angle is increasing, i.e. the rate at which the position vector OP ⎯→ is rotating. The quantity d d t , or . , can be called the angular velocity or the Angular Speed of P. In more advanced work, angular velocity is treated as a vector, whose direction is taken to be that of the axis of rotation. In this chapter, d d t is often referred to as Angular Speed, but is given a sign: positive when is increasing (usually anticlockwise) and negative when is decreasing (usually clockwise). ➀ O P r s θ A CIRCULAR MOTION 253 Angular Speed is often denoted by , the Greek letter omega. So the equation s . r . may be written as v r . Notice that for this equation to hold, must be measured in radians, so the Angular Speed is measured in radians per second or rad s 1 . Figure 12.2 shows a disc rotating about its centre, O, with Angular Speed . The line OP represents any radius. Figure 12.2 Every point on the disc describes a circular path, and all points have the same Angular Speed. However the actual speed of any point depends on its distance from the centre: increasing r in the equation v r increases v .

  ● The linear velocity v → of the point is tangent to the circle; the point’s linear speed v is given by v = ωr (radian measure), where ω is the Angular Speed (in radians per second) of the body, and thus also the point. ● The linear acceleration a → of the point has both tangential and radial components. The tangential component is a t = αr (radian measure), where α is the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in radians per second-squared) of the body. The radial component of a → is a r = v 2 _ r = ω 2 r (radian measure). ● If the point moves in uniform circular motion, the period T of the motion for the point and the body is T = 2πr _ v = 2π _ ω (radian measure). Relating the Linear and Angular Variables In Module 4.5, we discussed uniform circular motion, in which a particle travels at constant linear speed v along a circle and around an axis of rotation. When a rigid body, such as a merry-go-round, rotates around an axis, each particle in the body Additional examples, video, and practice available at WileyPLUS 282 CHAPTER 10 ROTATION moves in its own circle around that axis. Since the body is rigid, all the particles make one revolution in the same amount of time; that is, they all have the same Angular Speed ω. However, the farther a particle is from the axis, the greater the circumference of its circle is, and so the faster its linear speed v must be. You can notice this on a merry-go-round. You turn with the same Angular Speed ω regardless of your distance from the center, but your linear speed v increases noticeably if you move to the outside edge of the merry-go-round. We often need to relate the linear variables s, v, and a for a particular point in a rotating body to the angular variables θ, ω, and α for that body. The two sets of variables are related by r, the perpendicular distance of the point from the rotation axis. This perpendicular distance is the distance between the point and the rotation axis, measured along a perpendicular to the axis.

  The instantaneous angular velocity ω is the change in angular displacement with time when the time interval tends to zero. It can be expressed as:

  [20]

  3 Angular accelerationThe average angular acceleration over some time interval is the change in angular velocity during that time divided by the time:

  [21]

  The unit is rad/s2 . The instantaneous angular acceleration a is the change in angular velocity with time when the time interval tends to zero. It can be expressed as:

  [22]

  4.4.1 Motion with constant angular acceleration

  For a body rotating with a constant angular acceleration α, when the angular velocity changes uniformly from ω0 to co in time t, as in Figure 4.19 , equation [21 ] gives:

  Figure 4.19 Uniformly accelerated motion

  and hence:

  ω = ω0 + at

  [23]

  The average angular velocity during this time is ½(ω + ω0 ) and thus if the angular displacement during the time is θ:

  Substituting for co using equation [23 ]:

  Hence:

  θ = ω0 t + ½at2

  [24]

  Squaring equation [23 ] gives:

  Hence, using equation [24 ]:

  [25]

  Example

  An object which was rotating with an angular velocity of 4 rad/s is uniformly accelerated at 2 rad/s. What will be the angular velocity after 3 s?

  Using equation [23 ]:

  ω = ω0 + at = 4 + 2 × 3 = 10 rad/s

  Example

  The blades of a fan are uniformly accelerated and increase in frequency of rotation from 500 to 700 rev/s in 3.0 s. What is the angular acceleration?

  Since ω = 2πf, equation [23 ] gives:

  2π × 700 = 2π × 500 + a × 3.0

  Hence a = 419 rad/s2 .

  Example

  A flywheel, starting from rest, is uniformly accelerated from rest and rotates through 5 revolutions in 8 s. What is the angular acceleration?

  The angular displacement in 8 s is 2π × 5 rad. Hence, using equation [24 ], i.e. θ = ω0 t + ½at2 :

  2π × 5 = 0 + ½a × 82

  Hence the angular acceleration is 0.98 rad/s2 .

  Revision

  13 A flywheel rotating at 3.5 rev/s is accelerated uniformly for 4 s until it is rotating at 9 rev/s. Determine the angular acceleration and the number of revolutions made by the flywheel in the 4 s.

  Your extended thumb points along the axis in the direction of the angular velocity vector. No part of the rotating object moves in the direction of the angular velocity vector. Angular acceleration arises when the angular velocity changes, and the acceleration vector also points along the axis of rotation. The acceleration vector has the same direction as the change in the angular velocity. That is, when the magnitude of the angular velocity (which is the Angular Speed) is increasing, the angular acceleration vector points in the same direction as the angular velocity. Conversely, when the magnitude of the angular velocity is decreasing, the angular acceleration vector points in the direction opposite to the angular velocity. Right hand Right hand v v Figure 8.15 The angular velocity vector B v of a rotating object points along the axis of rotation. The direction along the axis depends on the sense of the rotation and can be determined with the aid of a right-hand rule (see the text). CONCEPT SUMMARY 8.1 Rotational Motion and Angular Displacement When a rigid body rotates about a fixed axis, the angular displacement is the angle swept out by a line passing through any point on the body and intersecting the axis of rotation perpendicularly. By convention, the angular displacement is positive if it is counterclockwise and negative if it is clockwise. The radian (rad) is the SI unit of angular displacement. The angle u in radians is defined in Equa- tion 8.1 as the circular arc of length s traveled by a point on the rotating body divided by the radial distance r of the point from the axis. 8.2 Angular Velocity and Angular Acceleration The average angular velocity v is the angular dis- placement Du divided by the elapsed time Dt, according to Equation 8.2. As Dt approaches zero, the average angular velocity becomes equal to the instantaneous angular velocity v. The magnitude of the instantaneous angular velocity is called the instantaneous Angular Speed.

  Equation 10.10 shows that the tangential speed of a point on the rotat- ing object increases as one moves outward from the center of rotation, as we would intuitively expect. For example, the outer end of a swinging golf club moves much faster than a point near the handle. We can relate the angular acceleration of the rotating rigid object to the tangen- tial acceleration of the point P by taking the time derivative of v in Equation 10.10: a t 5 dv dt 5 r dv dt a t 5 r a (10.11) That is, the tangential component of the translational acceleration of a point on a rotating rigid object equals the point’s perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation multiplied by the angular acceleration. In Section 4.4, we found that a point moving in a circular path undergoes a radial acceleration a r directed toward the center of rotation and whose magnitude is that of the centripetal acceleration v 2 / r (Fig. 10.5). Because v 5 rv for a point P on a rotating object, we can express the centripetal acceleration at that point in terms of Angular Speed as we did for a particle moving in a circular path in Equation 4.25: a c 5 v 2 r 5 r v 2 (10.12) The total acceleration vector at the point is a S 5 a S t 1 a S r , where the magnitude of a S r is the centripetal acceleration a c . Because a S is a vector having a radial and a tan- gential component, the magnitude of a S at the point P on the rotating rigid object is a 5 Ïa t 2 1 a r 2 5 Ïr 2 a 2 1 r 2 v 4 5 r Ïa 2 1 v 4 (10.13) Q UICK QUIZ 10.3 Ethan and Rebecca are riding on a merry-go-round.

  221 Kinematics TVET FIRST 2. The angular acceleration: Step 1: Calculate the angular velocity (if you used Eq. 8.4) ω = v _ r = 60 _ 20 = 3 rad/s Step 2: Calculate the angular acceleration using Eq. 8.1 α = Δω _ Δt = 3 _ 30 = 0, 1 rad/s 2 8.3.2 Angular acceleration Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. It is calculated using: α = Δω _ Δt [Eq. 8.7] Where: ∆ω = change in angular velocity [rad/s] ∆t = change in time [s] The angular acceleration is therefore given as: α = ω f − ω i _ t f − t i Where: ω f = final angular velocity [rad/s] ω i = initial angular velocity [rad/s] t f = final time [s] t i = initial time [s] Note If both angular velocity and acceleration are positive or negative (directed in the same direction), then the speed of the object increases. If the angular velocity has a different sign to the angular acceleration (directed in the opposite direction), then the object’s speed decreases. Example 8.7 A wheel of a vehicle rotates in a clockwise direction. Determine the angular acceleration and draw the direction of angular acceleration if: 1. The wheel starts at rest and rotates up to a speed of 45 rad/s in 10 s. 2. The wheel slows down from 60 rad/s to 25 rad/s in 8 s. Solution 1. The wheel starts at rest and rotates up to a speed of 45 rad/s in 10 s: α = ω f − ω i _ t f − t i = 45 − 0 _ 10 − 0 = 4, 5 rad/s 2 The wheel rotates clockwise. The angular acceleration is also directed in a clockwise direction at 4,5 rad/s 2 because the sign is positive (see Figure 8.52). Figure 8.52: Angular acceleration of the wheel α 222 Module 8 TVET FIRST 2. The wheel slows down from 60 rad/s to 25 rad/s in 8 s: α = ω f − ω i _ t f − t i = 25 − 60 _ 8 − 0 = − 4, 375 rad/s 2 The wheel rotates in a clockwise direction. However, because the angular acceleration is a negative sign, it is accelerating in an anticlockwise direction at 4,375 rad/s 2 (see Figure 8.53).

  The distance traveled is directly proportional to r, the distance from the particle to the axis of rotation. Expressed mathematically, d 5 1Du 2 r (12.12) where Du is measured in radians. In SI units, both d and r are measured in meters, showing again that radians are dimensionless. Translational Velocity of a Point on a Rotating Object Now let us look at the translational and Angular Speeds of Sophia’s nose and shoe. Sophia moves from her initial position to her final position in a time interval Dt . Her nose and shoe undergo the same angular displacement Du in the same time interval. Therefore, her nose and shoe have the same average Angular Speed v av 5 Du / Dt (Eq. 12.3), and if we consider an infinitesimal angular displacement du in an infini- tesimal time interval dt, her nose and shoe have identical instantaneous Angular Speeds v 5 du / dt (Eq. 12.4). You already know that all particles of a rotating rigid object have the same an- gular speed v, but you may be surprised to learn that not all the particles have the same translational speed. Sophia’s shoe travels a greater distance than her nose in the same time interval, so her shoe must be moving at a higher average speed than her nose: v av, shoe 5 d shoe Dt and v av, nose 5 d nose Dt Using d 5 r 1Du 2 (Eq. 12.12) for distance traveled, v av, shoe 5 r shoe Du Dt and v av, nose 5 r nose Du Dt Final position Initial position a shoe = a nose v shoe = v nose Du shoe = Du nose v shoe > v nose a c, shoe > a c, nose a T, shoe > a T, nose Du Du r nose r shoe d shoe d nose FIGURE 12.15 Sophia in rotation is modeled as a rigid object, so her nose and her shoe have equal angular displacements ∆u, Angular Speeds v , and angular accelerations a. Her shoe is farther from the axis of rotation than her nose is. Therefore, the translational parameters d, v, a T , and a c of her shoe are greater than those for her nose.
