4. Rigid Object A rigid object is one that is nondeformable
The relative locations of all particles making up the object remain constant
All real objects are deformable to some extent, but the rigid object model is very useful in many situations where the deformation is negligible
This simplification allows analysis of the motion of an extended object

5. One Dimensional Position x
What is motion? Change of position over time.
How can we represent position along a straight line?
Position definition:
Defines a starting point: origin (x = 0), x relative to origin
Direction: positive (right or up), negative (left or down)
It depends on time: t = 0 (start clock), x(t=0) does not have to be zero.
Position has units of [Length]: meters.
x = m
x = - 3 m

6. Angular Position Axis of rotation is the center of the disc
Choose a fixed reference line
Point P is at a fixed distance r from the origin
As the particle moves, the only coordinate that changes is q
As the particle moves through q, it moves though an arc length s.
The angle q, measured in radians, is called the angular position.

7. Displacement Displacement is a change of position in time.
f stands for final and i stands for initial.
It is a vector quantity.
It has both magnitude and direction: + or - sign
It has units of [length]: meters.
x1 (t1) = m
x2 (t2) = m
Δx = -2.0 m m = -4.5 m
x1 (t1) = m
x2 (t2) = m
Δx = +1.0 m m = +4.0 m

8. Angular Displacement
The angular displacement is defined as the angle the object rotates through during some time interval
SI unit: radian (rad)
This is the angle that the reference line of length r sweeps out

10. While riding a carousel that is rotating clockwise, a child travels through and arc length of 11.5 m. If the child’s angular displacement is 165o, what is the radius of the carousel?
Given: Δθ=- 165o Δs=-11.5m
Δr=?
Δθ(rad)=(π/180) Δθ(deg)=-2.88 rad
Δθ = Δs/r  r=Δs/ Δθ =-11.5 m/-2.88 rad = 3.99 m

11. Velocity Velocity is the rate of change of position.
Velocity is a vector quantity.
Velocity has both magnitude and direction.

velocity

12. Average and Instantaneous Angular Speed
The average angular speed, ωavg, of a rotating rigid object is the ratio of the angular displacement to the time interval
The instantaneous angular speed is defined as the limit of the average speed as the time interval approaches zero
SI unit: radian per second (rad/s)
Angular speed positive if rotating in counterclockwise
Angular speed will be negative if rotating in clockwise

A child at an ice cream parlor spins on a stool. The child turns counter clockwise with an average angular speed of 4 rad/s. In what time interval will the child’s feet have an angular displacement of 8 π rad?
Given: Δθ= 8 π rad ωavg = 4 rad/s
Δt=?
ωavg = Δθ /Δt  Δt= Δθ / ωavg
= 8 π rad/ 4 rad/s=6.3 s

15. Average Acceleration
Changing velocity (non-uniform) means an acceleration is present.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
Acceleration is a vector quantity.
Acceleration has both magnitude and direction.

17. A car’s tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21. 5 rad/s
A car’s tire rotates at an initial angular speed of 21.5 rad/s. The driver accelerates, and after 3.5 s the tire’s angular speed is 28 rad/s. What is the tire’s average angular acceleration?
Given: ω1= 21.5 rad/s ω2=28 rad/s Δt=3.5 s
αavg =?
αavg = ω2 – ω1/t2 – t1 = Δω/Δt
αavg = 28 rad/s – 21.5 rad/s /3.5 s= 1.9 rad/s2

18. Period and Frequency
The time it takes to go one time around a closed path is called the period (T).
Comparing to v = r:
f is called the frequency, the number of revolutions (or cycles) per second.

19. Centripetal Acceleration
Consider an object moving in a circular path of radius r at constant speed. x y v
Here, v  0. The direction of v is changing.
If v  0, then a  0. Then there is a net force acting on the object.

20. Centripetal Acceleration
Conclusion: with no net force acting on the object it would travel in a straight line at constant speed
It is still true that F = ma.
But what acceleration do we use?

21. Centripetal Acceleration
The velocity of a particle is tangent to its path.
For an object moving in uniform circular motion, the acceleration is radially inward.

22. Centripetal Acceleration
The magnitude of the radial acceleration is:

24. Circular Motion and N.S.L
Recall that according to Newton’s Second Law, the acceleration is directly proportional to the Force. If this is true:
Since the acceleration and the force are directly related, the force must ALSO point towards the center. This is called CENTRIPETAL FORCE.
NOTE: The centripetal force is a NET FORCE. It could be represented by one or more forces. So NEVER draw it in an F.B.D.

41. Rotational Kinematics

42. Centripetal vs. Centrifugal
The centrifugal force is not a “real” force — the tendency to fly outwards is observed because objects that are moving in a straight line tend to continue moving in a straight line. This is called inertia, and it makes objects resistant to the force that makes them move in a curve.

43. Nonuniform Circular Motion
Nonuniform means the speed (magnitude of velocity) is changing. at v ar a
