Module-8-Rotational-Motion

The document discusses rotational motion, defining it as the motion of a body turning about an axis with angular quantities replacing linear ones. It covers key concepts such as angular displacement, velocity, acceleration, and torque, along with practice exercises to apply these concepts. The document emphasizes the mathematical relationships and principles governing rotational dynamics and equilibrium.

ROTATIONAL MOTION
ROTATION

Refers to the motion of a body turning


about an axis, where each particle of the
body moves along a circular path.
Rotational motion is analogous to Linear motion

except that

Linear quantities

replace
kinematics
can be
angular quantities
described by
dynamics

PRACTICE EXERCISE #1
An electric motor is revolving at 2000rpm. After
3s, it is moving at 1500 rpm.
Determine the:
1. Angular acceleration
2. The no. of revolutions it makes in this time.
PRACTICE EXERCISE #2
A power drill uniformly changes its frequency
from 1200 rpm to 1320 rpm in 1.30s.
Determine the drill bits’ angular acceleration.
PRACTICE EXERCISE #3
A flywheel (heavy wheel attached to a machine
to regulate its motion) accelerates uniformly
from rest to a frequency of 2.78 x103 rpm in
10.0s. What is the wheel’s angular
acceleration?
PRACTICE EXERCISE #4
A CD takes about 2.80s for it to go up to speed
and it spins at 33.3 rpm.
•Convert the angular velocity to rad/s.
•Compute for the angular acceleration(rad/s2)
TORQUE

TORQUE – the
product of a force
that produces
rotation.
TORQUE

Torque (or moment) is a


“twist” or a “turn”
associated with a force and
has a magnitude.
TORQUE
Mathematically:
torque = Force x Lever Arm
= Fl
Where:
= N· m (Newton*meter)
F = N (Newton)
l = m (meter)
Examples of Torque
If all the forces
below have
equal
magnitude,
which one
creates the
most torque?

PHYSICS AHEAD………
TORQUE #1
Sarah, who weighs 350 N, sits 3 m
away from the fulcrum of a
seesaw.
How far must Gabriel, who weighs
300N, sit from the fulcrum to
balance the seesaw?
What is the force exerted by the
fulcrum when the seesaw is
balanced?
TORQUE #2 50 kg
