• A book is rotated through a point about a vertical axis by 900 and then through the same point in the book about a horizontal axis by 1800. If we start over and perform the same rotations in the reverse order, the orientation of the object:
1. will be the same as before.
2. will be different than before.

Some implications: Math, Quantum Mechanics … interesting!!!
Translational - Rotational Motion Analogy
• What do we mean here by “analogy”?– Diagram of the analogy (on board)– Pair learning exercise on translational
quantities and laws– Summation discussion on translational
quantities and laws
• Introduction of angular/rotational quantities• Formulation of the specific analogy
– Validation of analogy
Translational - Rotational Motion Analogy (precisely)
If qti corresponds to qri for each translational and rotation quantity,
then L(qt1,qt2,…) is a translational dynamics formula or law, if and only if L(qr1,qr2,…) is a rotational dynamics formula or law.
(To the extent this is not true, the analogy is said to be limited. Most analogies are limited.)
Angular quantities
• Angle units: radians
• Average and instantaneous quantities
• Translational-angular connections
• Example
• Example
• Vector nature of angular quantities– Care needed (book rotation, other examples)– Tutorial on rotational motion (handout)
• first three pages due next class, all due one after
Constant angular acceleration
• What is expected in analogy with the translational case?
• And what is the mathematical and graphical representation for the case of constant angular acceleration?
• Example (Physlet E10.2)
Torque• Pushing over a block?• Dynamic analogy with translational motion
– When angular velocity is constant, what?...– What keeps a wheel turning?
• Definition of torque magnitude– 5-step procedure: 1.axis, 2.force and location,
3.line of force, 4.perpendicalar distance to axis, 5. torque = r┴ F

The end
• Pay attention to the Summary of Rotational Motion.
• A disk is rotating at a constant rate about a vertical axis through its center. Point Q is twice as far from the center of the disk as point P is. Draw a picture. The angular velocity of Q at a given time is:
1. twice as big as P’s.
2. the same as P’s.
3. half as big as P’s.
4. None of the above.
back
• When a disk rotates counterclockwise at a constant rate about the vertical axis through its center (Draw a picture.), the tangential acceleration of a point on the rim is:
1. positive.
2. zero.
3. negative.
4. not enough information to say.

• A wheel rolls without slipping along a horizontal surface. The center of the wheel has a translational speed v. Draw a picture. The lowermost point on the wheel has a net forward velocity:
1. 2v2. v3. zero4. not enough information to say
back
• The moment of inertia of a rigid body about a fixed axis through its center of mass is I. Draw a picture. The moment of inertia of this same body about a parallel axis through some other point is always:
1. smaller than I.2. the same as I.3. larger than I.4. could be either way depending on the
choice of axis or the shape of the object.back
• A ball rolls (without slipping) down a long ramp which heads vertically up in a short distance like an extreme (and dysfunctional) ski jump. The ball leaves the ramp straight up. Refer to picture. Assume no air drag and no mechanical energy is lost, the ball will:
1. reach the original height.
2. exceed the original height.
3. not make the original height.

back
(5kg)(9.8m/s2)(10m) = (1/2)(5kg)(v)2 + (1/2)(2/5)(5kg)(.1m)2(v/(.1m))2
(5kg)(9.8m/s2)(h) = (1/2)(5kg)(v)2

back
(1/2)(5kg)(.1m/s)2 + (1/2)(1/2)(5kg)(.2m)2(.1m/s/(.1m))2

• Suppose you pull up on the end of a board initially flat and hinged to a horizontal surface.

a. Decreases with Θ
b. Increases with Θ
c. Remains constant

• Several solid spheres of different radii, densities and masses roll down an incline starting at rest at the same height.
• In general, how do their motions compare as they go down the incline, assuming no air resistance or “rolling friction”?
Make mathematical arguments on the white boards.
