Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 11 A special point for rotation System of Particles: Center of Mass (CM) l If an object is not held then it will rotate about the center of mass. l Center of mass: Where the system is balanced ! Building a mobile is an exercise in finding centers of mass. m1m1 m2m2 + m1m1 m2m2 + mobile

Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 16 Rotation & Kinetic Energy l Consider the simple rotating system shown below. (Assume the masses are attached to the rotation axis by massless rigid rods). l The kinetic energy of this system will be the sum of the kinetic energy of each piece: K = ½ m 1 v 1 + ½ m 2 v 2 + ½ m 3 v 3 + ½ m 4 v 4 rr1rr1 rr2rr2 rr3rr3 rr4rr4 m4m4 m1m1 m2m2 m3m3
17
Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 17 Rotation & Kinetic Energy Notice that v 1 = r 1, v 2 = r 2, v 3 = r 3, v 4 = r 4 l So we can rewrite the summation: We recognize the quantity, moment of inertia or I, and write: rr1rr1 rr2rr2 rr3rr3 rr4rr4 m4m4 m1m1 m2m2 m3m3

Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 18 Calculating Moment of Inertia where r is the distance from the mass to the axis of rotation. Example: Calculate the moment of inertia of four point masses (m) on the corners of a square whose sides have length L, about a perpendicular axis through the center of the square: mm mm L
19
Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 19 Calculating Moment of Inertia... For a single object, I depends on the rotation axis! Example: I 1 = 4 m R 2 = 4 m (2 1/2 L / 2) 2 L I = 2mL 2 I 2 = mL 2 mm mm I 1 = 2mL 2

Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 26 Rotation & Kinetic Energy... l The kinetic energy of a rotating system looks similar to that of a point particle: Point Particle Rotating System v is “linear” velocity m is the mass. is angular velocity I is the moment of inertia about the rotation axis.
27
Physics 207: Lecture 16, Pg 27 Moment of Inertia and Rotational Energy Notice that the moment of inertia I depends on the distribution of mass in the system. The further the mass is from the rotation axis, the bigger the moment of inertia. l For a given object, the moment of inertia depends on where we choose the rotation axis (unlike the center of mass). In rotational dynamics, the moment of inertia I appears in the same way that mass m does in linear dynamics ! lSo where
