A static frictional force f s acts on the wheel at P, opposing its tendency to slide. The magnitudes of the linear acceleration a com, and the angular acceleration a can be related by; R :the radius of the wheel. α : angular acceleration Rolling is possible when there is friction between the surface and the rolling object. The frictional force provides the torque to rotate the object.

7 11.4 The Forces of Rolling: Friction and Rolling If the wheel slides when the net force acts on it, the frictional force that acts at P in Figure is a kinetic frictional force, f k. The motion then is not smooth rolling, and the above relation (a COM =ar) does not apply to the motion. Sliding of Wheel Motion is not Smooth Rolling f k

8 11.4 The Forces of Rolling: Rolling Down a Ramp A round uniform body of radius R rolls (smoothly f s ) down a ramp. We want to find an expression for the body s acceleration a com,x down the ramp. We do this by using Newton s second law in its linear version (F net =Ma) and its angular version (t net =Ia). For smooth rolling down a ramp: 1. F g : The gravitational force is vertically down 2. F N : The normal force is perpendicular to the ramp 3. f s :The force of friction points up the slope (opposing the sliding) 4. a com =ar where a com is ( x) and a is (+, ccw) (see 4)

10 11.4 The Forces of Rolling: Rolling Down a Ramp Sample problem: Rolling Down a Ramp A uniform ball, of mass M=6.00 kg and radius R, rolls smoothly from rest down a ramp at angle =30.0. a) The ball descends a vertical height h=1.20 m to reach the bottom of the ramp. What is its speed at the bottom? Calculations: Where I com is the ball s rotational inertia about an axis through its center of mass, v com is the requested speed at the bottom, and is the angular speed there. Substituting v com /R for, and 2/5 MR 2 for I com, b) What are the magnitude and direction of the frictional force on the ball as it rolls down the ramp?

Direction determined with right-hand-rule. Figure (a) A force F, lying in an x-y plane, acts on a particle at point A.

11 11.6 Torque Revisited Previously, torque was defined only for a rotating body and a fixed axis. Now we redefine it for an individual particle that moves along any path relative to a fixed point. The path need not be a circle; torque is now a vector. Direction determined with right-hand-rule. Figure (a) A force F, lying in an x-y plane, acts on a particle at point A. (b) This force produces a torque t = r x F on the particle with respect to the origin O. By the right-hand rule for vector (cross) products, the torque vector points in the positive direction of z. Its magnitude is given by in (b) and by in (c).

12 11.6 Torque Revisited The general equation for torque is: We can also write the magnitude as: Or, using the perpendicular component of force or the moment arm of F:

13 11.6 Torque Revisited Sample problem: Torque on a particle due to a force In Figure, three forces, each magnitude 2.0 N, act on a particle. The particle is in the xz plane at a point A given by position vector r, where r = 3.0 m and = 30 o. Force F 1 is parallel to the x axis, force F 2 is parallel to the z axis, and F 3 is parallel to the y axis. What is the torque, about the origion O, due to each force? Calculations: Because we want the torques with respect to the origin O, the vector required for each cross product is the given position vector r. To determine the angle q between the direction of r and the direction of each force, we shift the force vectors of Fig.a, each in turn, so that their tails are at the origin. Figures b, c, and d, which are direct views of the xz plane, show the shifted force vectors F1, F2, and F3. respectively. In Fig. d, the angle between the directions of r and t is 90.

15 11.7 Angular Momentum Here we investigate the angular counterpart to linear momentum We write: Note that the particle need not rotate around O to have angular momentum around it. The unit of angular momentum is kg m 2 /s, or J s To find the direction of angular momentum, use the right-hand rule to relate r and v to the result To find the magnitude, use the equation for the magnitude of a cross product: Angular momentum has meaning only with respect to a specified origin Which can also be written as:

Therefore, To find the direction of we use the right-hand rule for the vector product, and find that the direction is into the plane of the figure.

18 11.8 Newton s 2 nd Law in Angular Form Sample problem: Torque, Penguin Fall Calculations: The magnitude of l can be found by using The perpendicular distance between O and an extension of vector p is the given distance D. The speed of an object that has fallen from rest for a time t is v =gt. Therefore, To find the direction of we use the right-hand rule for the vector product, and find that the direction is into the plane of the figure. The vector changes with time in magnitude only; its direction remains unchanged. (b) About the origin O, what is the torque on the penguin due to the gravitational force? Calculations: Using the right-hand rule for the vector product we find that the direction of t is the negative direction of the z axis, the same as l.

19 11.9 The Angular Momentum of a System of Particles The total angular momentum L of the system is the (vector) sum of the angular momenta l of the individual particles (here with label i): With time, the angular momenta of individual particles may change because of interactions between the particles or with the outside. The rate of change of the net angular momentum is: Therefore, the net external torque acting on a system of particles is equal to the time rate of change of the system s total angular momentum L.

20 11.9 The Angular Momentum of a System of Particles Note that the torque and angular momentum must be measured relative to the same origin. If the center of mass is accelerating, then that origin must be the center of mass. a) A rigid body rotates about a z axis with angular speed. A mass element of mass Dm i within the body moves about the z axis in a circle with radius. The mass element has linear momentum p i and it is located relative to the origin O by position vector r i. Here the mass element is shown when is parallel to the x axis. b) The angular momentum l i, with respect to O, of the mass element in (a). The z component l iz is also shown.

21 11.9 The Angular Momentum of a System of Particles We can find the angular momentum of a rigid body through summation: The sum is the rotational inertia I of the body. Therefore this simplifies to:

22 11.11 Conservation of Angular Momentum Since we have a new version of Newton's second law, we also have a new conservation law: If the net external torque acting on a system is zero, the angular momentum L of the system remains constant, no matter what changes take place within the system. The law of conservation of angular momentum states that, for an isolated system, (net initial angular momentum) = (net final angular momentum) Depending on the torques acting on the system, the angular momentum of the system might be conserved in one or two directions but not in all directions. This means that if external torque along an axis is zero then L is constant.

(a) The student has a relatively large rotational inertia about the rotation axis and a relatively small angular speed.

23 11.11 Conservation of Angular Momentum If the component of the net external torque on a system along a certain axis is zero, then the component of the angular momentum of the system along that axis cannot change, no matter what changes take place within the system. (a) The student has a relatively large rotational inertia about the rotation axis and a relatively small angular speed. (b) By decreasing his rotational inertia, the student automatically increases his angular speed. The angular momentum of the rotating system remains unchanged.

24 11.11 Conservation of Angular Momentum Examples: Angular momentum conservation A student spinning on a stool: rotation speeds up when arms are brought in, slows down when arms are extended. A springboard diver: rotational speed is controlled by tucking her arms and legs in, which reduces rotational inertia and increases rotational speed. A long jumper: the angular momentum caused by the torque during the initial jump can be transferred to the rotation of the arms, by windmilling them, keeping the jumper upright.

43 11.12 Precession of a Gyroscope The angular momentum of a (rapidly spinning) gyroscope is: Eq. (11-43) The torque can only change the direction of L, not its magnitude, because of (11-43) The only way its direction can change along the direction of the torque without its magnitude changing is if it rotates around the central axis. Therefore it precesses instead of toppling over.
