1 Diving in Artificial Gravity: A Memorable Lesson on Fictitious Forces A. John Mallinckrodt Physics Department Cal Poly Pomona
2 Diving in Artificial Gravity 2 Outline Qualitative Considerations What s different about jumping in artificial gravity? How do we adjust for the Coriolis and centrifugal forces? Quantitative Considerations What are the required conditions for a successful dive? Using what we know to win a gold medal!!! Force and Energy in the Rotating Frame The artificial gravitational potential energy. The workless Coriolis force. Cusp-point trajectories. Conclusions
3 Diving in Artificial Gravity 3 An Unsuccessful Dive Inertial Frame Rotating Frame jump inertial tangential
4 Diving in Artificial Gravity 4 A Successful Dive Inertial Frame Rotating Frame jump inertial tangential
5 Diving in Artificial Gravity 5 A Noteworthy, but Unsuccessful Dive Rotating Frame
6 Diving in Artificial Gravity 6 The Physics (Relative velocity) v 2 = v 2 i +v 2 t 2 v i v t sinφ and tanθ = v isinφ v t v i cosφ (Distance traveled) (Time on path) where v t = ΩR. Now let u = v v t and u i = v i v t u 2 = u i 2 2 u i sinφ + 1 tanθ = sinφ 1/u i cosφ d = 2 R cosφ t = d v i θ v φ v t v i (Success condition) Ω t = (π 2φ) + 2nπ, (n = 0, 1, 2,... ) v t 2 R cosφ R v = (2n + 1)π 2φ i cosφ u i + φ = (n + 1/2)π R π 2φ φ d
7 Diving in Artificial Gravity 7 Parameters for Successful Dives θ n = 0 30 φ Cusp Trajectories n= 1 n= 2 n= 3 etc u
8 Diving in Artificial Gravity 8 Better Diving Through Physics Rotating Frame (Calculated for φ = 0 and n = 2)
9 Diving in Artificial Gravity 9 Force and Energy in the Rotating Frame Centrifugal Force: F cent = mrω 2, outward Centrifugal ( Artificial Gravitational ) PE: U cent = 1 2 mr2 Ω 2 Coriolis Force: F cor = 2mΩv, to the right (Coriolis force does no work and, therefore, does not alter the total energy.) Total energy: E = 1 2 mv2 1 2 mr2 Ω 2 E > 0 v > v t (i.e., u > 1) and diver can reach axis of rotation (r = 0). E < 0 v < v t (i.e., u < 1) and there is a minimum accessible value of r. r min = R 2 v Ω 2 r min R = 1 u2 The diver may or may not reach r min. When r min is realized, the trajectory in the inertial frame looks as shown at right. r min R = sinφ u = cosφ, (and u i = sinφ) This yields trajectories with cusp-points points at which the diver is momentarily stationary in the rotating frame. (The motion of the diver near r min is much like the motion of a charged particle in crossed E and B fields.) R φ r min
10 Diving in Artificial Gravity 10 Cusp-Point Trajectories n = 2 n = 3
11 Diving in Artificial Gravity 11 Fictitious Forces Around the Cusp Coriolis force centrifugal force
12 Diving in Artificial Gravity 12 Successful n = 2 Dives Near Cusp θ = 82.74, u = θ = 82.62, u = (cusp trajectory) θ = 82.76, u =
13 Diving in Artificial Gravity 13 Conclusions Straight line trajectories in the inertial frame are transformed into exotic dives in the rotating frame. One must always jump at least slightly backward to reduce one s inertial speed below the tangential speed of the frame (or to accommodate the Coriolis force. ) With the exception of simple dives that approximate those in normal gravity (n = 0, θ 0), successful dives begin by essentially nullifying the pre-existing tangential velocity. One can use energy arguments to deal with the effects of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces in the rotating frame. Cusp-point trajectories result from a delicate balance between the effects of the Coriolis and centrifugal forces and are reminiscent of the motion of charged particles in crossed E and B fields.
