7. A book is rotated about a specific vertical axis by 90 0 and then about a specific horizontal axis by 180 0. 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. 3. depends on the choice of axis.

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 quantities Formulation of the specific analogy –Validation of analogy

10. Translational - Rotational Motion Analogy (precisely) If qt i corresponds to qr i for each translational and rotation quantity, then L(qt 1,qt 2,…) is a translational dynamics formula or law, if and only if L(qr 1,qr 2,…) 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.)

20. The end Pay attention to the Summary of Rotational Motion.

21. 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

22. 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. back

23. 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: 1.2v 2.v 3.zero 4.not enough information to say back

24. 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

25. A ball rolls (without slipping) down a long ramp which heads vertically up in a short distance like an extreme ski jump. The ball leaves the ramp straight up. Draw a 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

29. Suppose you pull up on the end of a board initially flat and hinged to a horizontal surface. How does the amount of force needed change as the board rotates up making an angle Θ with the horizontal? a. Decreases with Θ b. Increases with Θ c. Remains constant back

30. 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. back
