5 Slide 5 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion Uniform circular motion: motion in a circle of constant radius at constant speed Instantaneous velocity is always tangent to circle.

6 Slide 6 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion This acceleration is called the centripetal, or radial, acceleration, and it points towards the center of the circle.

7 Slide 7 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion Looking at the change in velocity in the limit that the time interval becomes infinitesimally small, we see that we get two similar triangles. A #l B A B r ## r r r C ## C

8 Slide 8 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion If displacement is equal to velocity multiplied by time, then vt is the displacement covered in time t. During that same time, velocity changed by an amount, Δv. r # vt v 1 r v 2 # v 1 v 2 #v

9 Slide 9 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion These are similar triangles because the angles are all congruent, so the sides must be in proportion. #v vt v = r #v v 2 = t r vt a = v 2 r # v 1 v 2 #v r r #

10 Slide 10 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion These are similar triangles because the angles are all congruent, so the sides must be in proportion. #v vt v = r Δv vt #v v 2 = t r a = v 2 r That's the magnitude of the acceleration. v 1 v 2 θ r θ r

11 Slide 11 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion Transpose v 2 to see the vector addition. v 1 v 1 v 2 v 2 #v θ θ The change in velocity, #v, shows the direction of the acceleration. In the picture, you can see #v points towards the center of the circle.

12 Slide 12 / 112 Kinematics of Uniform Circular Motion This acceleration is called the centripetal, or radial, acceleration. It direction is towards the center of the circle. It's magnitude is given by a = v 2 /r

13 Slide 13 / Is it possible for an object moving with a constant speed to accelerate? Explain. A B C D No, if the speed is constant then the acceleration is equal to zero. No, an object can accelerate only if there is a net force acting on it. Yes, although the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity can be changing. Yes, if an object is moving it is experiencing acceleration.

14 Slide 14 / Consider a particle moving with constant speed such that its acceleration of constant magnitude is always perpendicular to its velocity. A B C D It is moving in a straight line. It is moving in a circle. It is moving in a parabola. None of the above is definitely true all of the time.

15 Slide 15 / An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed. Compare the direction of the object's velocity and acceleration vectors. A B C D Both vectors point in the same direction. The vectors point in opposite directions. The vectors are perpendicular. The question is meaningless, since the acceleration is zero.

16 Slide 16 / What type of acceleration does an object moving with constant speed in a circular path experience? A B C D free fall constant acceleration linear acceleration centripetal acceleration

17 Slide 17 / An object is traveling with a velocity of 6.0 m/s in a circular path whose radius is 4.0m. What is the magnitude of its centripetal acceleration? A 4 m/s 2 B 9 m/s 2 C 6 m/s 2 D 1.5 m/s 2 E.67 m/s 2

18 Slide 18 / An object is traveling with a velocity of 6.0 m/s in a circular path. Its acceleration is 3.0 m/s 2. What is the radius of its path? A B C D E 6 m 1 m 2 m 16 m 12 m

19 Slide 19 / An object is traveling with a velocity in a circular path whose radius is 65 m. Its acceleration is 3.0 m/s 2. What is its velocity? A B C D E m/s m/s m/s m/s 195 m/s

20 Slide 20 / 112 Period, Frequency, and Rotational Velocity Return to Table of Contents

21 Slide 21 / 112 Period The time it takes for an object to complete one trip around a circular path is called its Period. The symbol for Period is "T" Periods are measured in units of time; we will usually use seconds (s). Often we are given the time (t) it takes for an object to make a number of trips (n) around a circular path. In that case, T = t/n

22 Slide 22 / If it takes 50 seconds for an object to travel around a circle 5 times, what is the period of its motion? A B C D E 5 s 10 s 15 s 20 s 25 s

23 Slide 23 / If an object is traveling in circular motion and its period is 7.0s, how long will it take it to make 8 complete revolutions? A B C D E 56 s 54 s 63 s 58 s 48 s

24 Slide 24 / 112 Frequency The number of revolutions that an object completes in a given amount of time is called the frequency of its motion. The symbol for frequency is "f" Frequency are measured in units of revolutions per unit time; we will usually use 1/seconds (s -1 ). Another name for s -1 is Hertz (Hz). Frequency can also be measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), etc. Often we are given the time (t) it takes for an object to make a number of revolutions (n). In that case, f = n/t

25 Slide 25 / An object travels around a circle 50 times in ten seconds, what is the frequency (in Hz) of its motion? A B C D E 25 Hz 20 Hz 15 Hz 10 Hz 5 Hz

26 Slide 26 / If an object is traveling in circular motion with a frequency of 7.0 Hz, how many revolutions will it make in 20 s? A 120 B 145 C 130 D 140 E 150

27 Slide 27 / 112 Period and Frequency Since T = t/n and f = n/t then T = 1/f and f = 1/T

28 Slide 28 / An object has a period of 4.0s, what is the frequency of its motion (in Hertz)? A B C D E 1/16 Hz 1/8 Hz 1/4 Hz 1/2 Hz 2 Hz

29 Slide 29 / An object is revolving with a frequency of 8.0 Hz, what is its period (in seconds)? A B C D E 1/8 s 1/4 s 1/2 s 2 s 4 s

30 Slide 30 / 112 Rotational Velocity Each trip around a circle, an object travels a length equal to the circle's circumference. The circumference of a circle is given by: C = 2# r The time it takes to go around once is the period, T. And the object's speed is given by s = d/t So the speed must be: s = C/T = 2# r/t

31 Slide 31 / 112 Rotational Velocity A velocity must have a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude of an object's instantaneous velocity is its speed. So for an object in uniform circular motion, the magnitude of its velocity is: v = C/T = 2# r/t If an object is in uniform circular motion, the direction of its velocity is tangent to its circular motion. So v = 2# r/t tangent to the circle

32 Slide 32 / An object is in circular motion. The radius of its motion is 2.0m and its period is 5.0s. What is its velocity? A B C D E 1.98 m/s m/s 4.36 m/s 3.25 m/s 2.51 m/s

33 Slide 33 / An object is in circular motion. The radius of its motion is 2.0 m and its velocity is 20 m/s. What is its period? A B C D E 0.38 s 0.63 s 0.78 s 0.89 s 1.43 s

34 Slide 34 / An object is in circular motion. The period of its motion is 2.0 s and its velocity is 20 m/s. What is the radius of its motion? A B C D E 7.87 m 3.56 m 5.61 m 6.36 m 5.67 m

35 Slide 35 / 112 Rotational Velocity Since f = 1/T, we can also determine the velocity of an object in uniform circular motion by the radius and frequency of its motion. v = 2# r/t and f = 1/T so v = 2# rf Of course the direction of its velocity is still tangent to its circular motion. So v = 2# rf tangent to the circle

36 Slide 36 / An object is in circular motion. The radius of its motion is 2.0 m and its frequency is 8.0 Hz. What is its velocity? A B C D E m/s m/s m/s m/s m/s

37 Slide 37 / An object is in circular motion. The radius of its motion is 2.0 m and its velocity is 30 m/s. What is its frequency? A B C D E 4.12 Hz 2.82 Hz 2.39 Hz 3.67 Hz 1.78 Hz

38 Slide 38 / An object is in circular motion. The frequency of its motion is 7.0 Hz and its velocity is 20 m/s. What is the radius of its motion? A B C D E 0.45 m 2.08 m 0.33 m 1.22 m 1.59 m

39 Slide 39 / 112 Dynamics of UCM Return to Table of Contents

40 Slide 40 / 112 Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion For an object to be in uniform circular motion, there must be a net force acting on it. We already know the acceleration, so we can write the force:

41 Slide 41 / 112 Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion We can see that the force must be inward by thinking about a ball on a string: Force on ball exerted by string Force on hand exerted by string

42 Slide 42 / 112 Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion There is no centrifugal force pointing outward; what happens is that the natural tendency of the object to move in a straight line must be overcome. If the centripetal force vanishes, the object flies off tangent to the circle. This happens. This does NOT happen.

43 Slide 43 / 112 Curved Paths This concept can be used for an object moving along any curved path, as a small segment of the path will be approximately circular.

44 Slide 44 / 112 Centrifugation A centrifuge works by spinning very fast. This means there must be a very large centripetal force. The object at A would go in a straight line but for this force; as it is, it winds up at B.

45 Slide 45 / What force is needed to make an object move in a circle? A B C D kinetic friction static friction centripetal force weight

46 Slide 46 / When an object experiences uniform circular motion, the direction of the net force is A B C D in the same direction as the motion of the object in the opposite direction of the motion of the object is directed toward the center of the circular path is directed away from the center of the circular path

47 Slide 47 / A car with a mass of 1800 kg goes around an 18 m radius turn at a speed of 35 m/s. What is the centripetal force on the car?

48 Slide 48 / A 75 kg mass is attached to the end of a 5.0 m long metal rod string which rotates in a horizontal circular path. If the maximum force that the rod can withstand is 8500 N. What is the maximum speed that the mass can attain without breaking the rod?

50 Slide 50 / 112 Car on a hilly road...

51 Slide 51 / 112 A car is traveling at a velocity of 20 m/s. The driver of the car has a mass of 60 kg. The car is located at the bottom of a dip in the road. The radius of the dip is 80m. What is the apparent weight of the driver (the normal force supplied by the seat of the car to support him) at the bottom of the dip?

52 Slide 52 / 112 This is a sketch of the problem. What do I do next? 1. Draw a free body diagram 2. Indicate the direction of acceleration v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 80 m

53 Slide 53 / 112 a F N Next, mg 3. Draw axes with one axis parallel to acceleration v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 80 m

54 Slide 54 / 112 y The dotted lines represent axes with one axis parallel to acceleration v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 80 m a F N mg x All forces are parallel or perpendicular to the axes, so I don't have to resolve any vector into components

55 y Slide 55 / Apply Newton's Second Law along each axis. x - direction y - direction a F N F = ma 0 = 0 F = ma F N - mg = ma F N = mg + ma F N = m (g + a) mg x While I don't know "a", I do know "v" and "r". What's my next step? v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 80 m 5. Substitute a = v 2 /r F N = m (g + v 2 /r)

56 Slide 56 / 112 a F N 6. The last step. Substitute numbers. F N = m (g + v 2 /r) mg x F N = (60 kg) ((9.8 m/s 2 + (20 m/s) 2 / (80m)) F N = (60 kg) (9.8 m/s m/s 2 ) v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 80 m F N = (60 kg) (14.8 m/s 2 ) F N = (60 kg) (14.8 m/s 2 ) F N = 890 N How does this compare to his weight on the flat part of the road?

57 Slide 57 / 112 F N mg On the flat road the driver's weight (the normal force from the seat) is just mg. F N = mg F N = (60kg)(9.8 m/s 2 ) = 590 N Apparent Weight Flat road Bottom of dip (r = 80m) v = 20 m/s m = 60 kg r = 590 N 890 N The gravitational force on the driver (mg) doesn't change, but his apparent weight (F N ) does. Is there a situation where he will appear weightless?

58 Slide 58 / 112 At what velocity must a car drive over a hill if the driver (and the car for that matter) are to appear weightless? The driver of the car has a mass of 60 kg. The radius of the hill is 80m.

59 Slide 59 / 112 This is a sketch of the problem. What do I do next? 1. Draw a free body diagram 2. Indicate the direction of acceleration m = 60 kg r = 80 m

60 Slide 60 / 112 m = 60 kg r = 80 m This is the free body diagram (let's start out with F N, knowing we'll eventually let it equal zero) Next, a F N mg 3. Draw axes with one axis parallel to acceleration

61 m = 60 kg r = 80 m y Slide 61 / 112 The dotted lines represent axes with one axis parallel to acceleration F N a mg x

62 Slide 62 / 112 m = 60 kg r = 80 m y 4. Apply Newton's Second Law along each axis. x - direction y - direction a F N mg x ΣF = ma 0 = 0 #F = ma F N - mg = -ma F N = mg - ma F N = m (g - a) But I'd like to find the velocity that the car must be going for the driver (and car) to appear weightless. How? 5. Substitute a = v 2 /r F N = m (g - v 2 /r)

63 m = 60 kg r = 80 m y Slide 63 / The last step, when does F N = 0 When the product of two variables is zero, then one of them must be zero. Since m is not zero, the only way F n can equal zero is... F N a mg x F N = m (g - v 2 /r) 0 = (60 kg) (g - v 2 /r) 0 = (g - v 2 /r) v 2 /r = g v = (gr) 1/2 v = ((9.8m/s 2 )(80m)) 1/2 v = 28 m/s

64 Slide 64 / 112 Practice Problem: A car is traveling at a velocity of 15 m/s. The driver of the car has a mass of 50 kg. 240 N The car is located at the top of a hill in the road. The radius of the hill is 45 m. What is the apparent weight of the driver (the normal force supplied by the seat of the car to support him) at the top of the hill?

65 Slide 65 / A car is going over the top of a hill whose curvature approximates a circle of radius 175 m. At what velocity will the occupants of the car appear to weigh 10% less than their normal weight (F N = 0.9mg)? A B C D E 13.1 m/s m/s 13.9 m/s 14.2 m/s 12.7 m/s

67 Slide 67 / The occupants of a car traveling at a speed of 25 m/s note that on a particular part of a road their apparent weight is 20% higher than their weight when driving on a flat road. Is that part of the road a hill, or a dip? A B Hill Dip

69 Slide 69 / 112 Buckets and Rollercoasters...

76 Slide 76 / 112 Assuming a constant speed, and that the mass of the bucket is 2.5kg, what will the tension in the string be at the bottom of the circle? T r = 0.80 m g = 9.8 m/s 2 downward

77 Slide 77 / 112 Assuming a constant speed, and that the mass of the bucket is 2.5kg, what will the tension in the string be at the bottom of the circle?

85 Slide 85 / 112 Banked and Unbanked Curves When a car goes around a curve, there must be a net force towards the center of the circle of which the curve is an arc. If the road is flat, that force is supplied by friction.

86 Slide 86 / 112 Banked and Unbanked Curves If the frictional force is insufficient, the car will tend to move more nearly in a straight line, as the skid marks show.

87 Slide 87 / 112 Banked and Unbanked Curves As long as the tires do not slip, the friction is static. If the tires do start to slip, the friction is kinetic, which is bad in two ways: The kinetic frictional force is smaller than the static. The static frictional force can point towards the center of the circle, but the kinetic frictional force opposes the direction of motion, making it very difficult to regain control of the car and continue around the curve.

88 Slide 88 / 112 Unbanked Curves A car is going around a track with a velocity of 20 m/s. The radius of the track is 150 m. What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that would make that possible? What do you know and what are you looking for? v = 20 m/s r = 150 m µ =?

93 Slide 93 / A car goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v. Then it goes around the same curve at half of the original speed. What is the centripetal force on the car as it goes around the curve for the second time, compared to the first time? A B C D twice as big four times as big half as big one-fourth as big

94 Slide 94 / 112 Banked Curves Banking curves can help keep cars from skidding. In fact, for every banked curve, there is one speed where the entire centripetal force is supplied by the horizontal component of the normal force, and no friction is required. Let's figure out what that speed is for a given angle and radius of curvature.

95 Slide 95 / 112 Banked Curves Top View Front View (the car heading towards you) y a r v a x We know the direction of our acceleration, so now we have to create axes. mg # Note that these axes will be different than for an Inclined Plane, because the car is not expected to slide down the plane. Instead, it must have a horizontal acceleration to go in a horizontal circle.

96 Slide 96 / 112 Banked Curves vertical Next, do the free body diagram. y radial a Let's assume that no friction is necessary at the speed we are solving for. x # mg

100 Slide 100 / 112 Practice Problem: Determine the velocity that a car should have while traveling around a frictionless curve with a radius 250 m is banked at an angle of m/s

101 Slide 101 / 112 Conical Pendulum A Conical Pendulum is a pendulum that sweeps out a circle, rather than just a back and forth path. Since the pendulum bob is moving in a horizontal circle, we can study it as another example of uniform circular motion. However, it will prove necessary to decompose the forces.

102 Slide 102 / 112 Conical Pendulum # Draw a sketch of the problem, unless one is provided. l Then draw a free body diagram and indicate the direction of the acceleration.

103 Slide 103 / 112 Conical Pendulum # l T a mg Then draw axes with one axis parallel to acceleration

104 Slide 104 / 112 Conical Pendulum # l T a mg Then decompose forces so that all components lie on an axis...in this case, decompose T.

105 Slide 105 / 112 Conical Pendulum Tcos# # Tsin# mg a Then solve for the acceleration of the bob, based on the angle #, by applying Newton's Second Law along each axis.

106 Slide 106 / 112 Tcos# Conical Pendulum x - direction F = ma Tsinθ = ma y - direction F = ma Tcosθ - mg = 0 Tcosθ = mg # Tsin# mg a Divide these two results Tsin θ = ma Tcos θ = mg tan θ = a/g θ = tan -1 (a/g) Or a = g tan θ

107 Slide 107 / 112 Conical Pendulum # mg T a An alternative approach is to solve this as a vector equation using #F=ma. (This will work whenever only two forces are present.) Just translate the original vectors (before decomposing them) to form a right triangle so that the sum of the two forces equals the new vector "ma".

108 Slide 108 / 112 Conical Pendulum Then, since tan # = opposite/adjacent # T ma mg tan # = ma/mg = a/g tan # = (v 2 /r)/g = v 2 /gr v 2 = grtan # the same result we found before
