Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. External forces and center-of-mass motion When a body or collection of particles is acted upon by external forces, the center of mass moves as though all the mass were concentrated there.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. External forces and center-of-mass motion Fragments of a firework shell would fly at 100 m/s for 5 seconds before they burn out. If a shell reaches its max height of 1000 meter and explodes, are the audiences on the ground safe from burning fragments? Ignore air resistance.

Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Introduction The north star is Polaris today, but 5000 years ago it was Thuban. What caused the change? What causes bodies to start or stop spinning? We’ll introduce some new concepts, such as torque and angular momentum, to deepen our understanding of rotational motion.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Introduction How do we quantify the spinning of wind turbine?
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular displacement angular displacement: θ unit: radian direction: (right hand rule!)
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Radian 2 π radian = 360 degree
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular displacement Motion of a spinning wheel
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular displacement and velocity How do we quantify the spinning of wind turbine? ω = dθ /dt
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular velocity is a vector! signs of angular displacement
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Right hand rule Angular displacement is a vector, use right hand rule to determine the direction.
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular acceleration α = dω/dt
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. Angular acceleration calculate ω from α
Copyright © 2012 Pearson Education Inc. These are very similar to linear motion linear and angular motion:
