1. Chapter 8 Rotational Kinematics

4. Rotation – (rotate) Revolution – (revolve) To move around an external axis. To spin on an internal axis.

5. The Record Player or Turntable

6. A penny rotates on the turntable at 45 RPM How fast is the penny moving? Angular Velocity Tangential Velocity (Rotational Speed)(Linear Speed) 45 revolutions/minute or 45 x (2  ) = 282.7 rad/min Depends on the distance (r) away from the center

7. Angular Velocity = Rotational Velocity = ω Tangential Velocity = Linear Velocity = v V depends on distance from axis rotation.

8. What is pi? Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to diameter.

9. Arc length r = radius s = arc length

10. What is a radian? A radian is a unit used for measuring angles. Angles can be measured in degrees or radians r = radius s = arc length

11. Angular Displacement (Δθ) - Can be measured in 1) degrees 2) radians 3) revolutions (1 rev = 360°)

12. Angular Velocity (ω) - Measured in rad/sec or rev/min (etc)

13. Angular Acceleration (α) - Measured in rad/sec 2 or rev/min 2 (etc)
