1. Warm-up:
While watching the following video, answer the following questions regarding the primary motion observed:
Clearly describe the motion as if you were talking to someone who had never seen this object before
Describe what values you could measure (and how!)
Describe what values you might be able to calculate(and how!) using info from this video.

2. Journal Entry: video information
This video is just about 4 minutes long. You will have until the video is stopped to answer each part of the question from the previous slide. Use the time given 
Watch:

3. Break it down!
On your group’s whiteboard, make 2 columns and record your answers for the 2nd and 3rd questions:
What can be measured (and how)?
What could be calculated (and how)?
You have 3 minutes to complete your columns and discuss with your group.

4. Rotational Mechanics Kinematics…but going in circles!
IB Book: pp

5. Tangential velocity (speed):
What are the definition, the units, and the symbol for each of the following:
Angular velocity
(w): the rate of change of angular position. Typically measured in rad·s-1
Tangential velocity (speed):
the speed of a single point on a rotating object, perpendicular to the radial direction.
How do you determine tangential velocity?
How do you determine angular velocity?
What is the mathematical relationship between these velocities?

6. Angular Velocity and Tangential Speed
Using dimensional analysis, and knowing that speed should be in m/s:
𝑟𝑎𝑑 𝑠 1 𝑟𝑒𝑣 2𝜋 𝑟𝑎𝑑 2𝜋𝑟 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 1 𝑟𝑒𝑣
Angular velocity *1/(2p)* circumference = speed
𝒗=𝝎𝒓

7. Angular Acceleration Angular Acceleration:
The rate of change in angular velocity
Symbol: a
Units: rad·s-2
𝜶= 𝚫𝝎 𝚫𝒕
𝝎= 𝝎 𝟎 +𝜶𝒕
Look familiar?

8. Rotational Kinematics
What is the symbol for angular position?
Using what you know, write the 3 main kinematic equations for rotational motion
𝜔= 𝜔 0 +𝛼𝑡
Δ𝜃= 𝜔 0 𝑡 𝛼 𝑡 2
𝜔 2 = 𝜔 𝛼(𝜃− 𝜃 0 )

9. Warm-up: 9/12/17
A CD uniformly accelerates from rest to its operating speed of rpm in 3.50 s. What is its angular acceleration during this time?
What is its angular acceleration if it comes uniformly to a stop in 4.50 s?

10. Practice Problem #2
A microwave oven has a 30.0 cm diameter rotating plate for even cooking. The plate accelerates from rest at a uniform rate of 0.87 rad·s-2 for 0.50 s before reaching its operational speed.
How many revolutions does the plate make before reaching its operational speed?
What is the operational speed of the rotating plate?

11. Practice Problem #3
The blades of a fan running at low speed turn at 210 rpm. When the fan is switched to high speed, the rotation rate increases uniformly to 380 rpm in 5.09 s.
(a) What is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the blades?   (b) How many revolutions do the blades go through while the fan is accelerating?

12. Question 8.3a Angular Displacement I
a) q
b) q
c) q
d) 2 q
An object at rest begins to rotate with a constant angular acceleration. If this object rotates through an angle q in the time t, through what angle did it rotate in the time t?
Answer: b

13. Question 8.3a Angular Displacement I
a) q
b) q
c) q
d) 2 q
An object at rest begins to rotate with a constant angular acceleration. If this object rotates through an angle q in the time t, through what angle did it rotate in the time t?
The angular displacement is q = at 2 (starting from rest), and there is a quadratic dependence on time. Therefore, in half the time, the object has rotated through one-quarter the angle.

14. Question 8.3b Angular Displacement II
An object at rest begins to rotate with a constant angular acceleration. If this object has angular velocity w at time t, what was its angular velocity at the time t?
a) ½ w
b) ¼ w
c) 2 w
d) 4 w
Answer: a

15. Question 8.3b Angular Displacement II
a) ½ w
b) ¼ w
c) 2 w
d) 4 w
An object at rest begins to rotate with a constant angular acceleration. If this object has angular velocity w at time t, what was its angular velocity at the time t?
The angular velocity is w = at (starting from rest), and there is a linear dependence on time. Therefore, in half the time, the object has accelerated up to only half the speed.

16. Practice Problem #4
A merry go-round makes 18 revolutions in a 3.0 min ride.
What is its average angular velocity?
What are the tangential speeds of two people 4.0 m and 5.0 m from the center?
