Rolling 2
Intuitive Question Why is it that when a body is rolling on a plane without slipping the point of contact with the plane does not move? A simple answer to this question is quite simply: because the body does not slip Why? Because slipping implies 2 bodies in contact moving relative to each other Here there is no slipping Therefore the point of contact and the plane don t move relative to each other Therefore the point of contact does not move However for those still unconvinced We ll work out a mathematical argument which should help 3
Nonslip conditions Imagine a cylinder moving forward at speed ω v on a plane without slipping R v As indicated in diagram cylinder must also be rotating about its axis because it is rolling at an angular speed! It is clear that is completely determined by and vice-versa! v because if we change! (say make the cylinder move faster) must also increase (the cylinder must roll faster) Our aim is to find the relation between v 4 v and!
Nonslip conditions To do this consider cylinder moving forward a distance x x R θ θ As a result it will rotate through angle Now consider following argument On purely mathematical grounds length of bold arc of the circle is R However this is equal to x because the distance the circle has move forward is equal to the arc length 5
Nonslip conditions We have found thus x = R Consider differentiating each side of this equation dx dt dx dt = R d dt d dt BUT is the velocity and is the angular velocity As such v = R! v = R! These two equations are the non-slip conditions is the same relationship that we had obtained for circular motion However it s important to realize that the v in each equation is different In circular motion refers to a point on the rim of the circle Here v v refers to the velocity of the centre of mass Let s convince ourselves they have to be the same as predicted by these equations 6
Point of contact Consider cylinder rolling on a plane again What are the velocities of points at very top and very bottom of circle? ω ω R+ v R v ωr v Top point moving forward at v (because the cylinder is moving forward at v) but also has an extra forward speed ωr because of the rotation Bottom point moving forward at v (for the same reason) but is now moving backwards at ωr because of the rotation (because the circle is rotating clockwise it s moving back at its bottom point) 7
Point of contact (cont d) However we have found that Feeding this into our diagram v =!R R ω v 2ωR 0 As indeed expected we have found that the velocity of the point of contact is zero It does not move!!! Differentiating on both sides the non-slip condition with respect to time tangential acceleration a T = R (e.g. for string not to slip on a pulley wheel) 8

Rolling with slipping When an object slips (skids) as it rolls nonslip condition v cm = R! Suppose a bowler releases a ball with no initial rotation as ball skids along bowling lane v cm >R! does not hold (! 0 = 0) Kinetic frictional force will both reduce its linear speed! and increase its angular speed until nonslip condition is reached after which balls rolls without slipping v cm = R! v cm 13

Vector Nature of Rotation Torque is expressed mathematically as a vector product of ~r and F ~ ~ = ~r ~ F ~F ~r z ~ If and are both perpendicular to axis is parallel to axis z 15
Vector product ~A B ~ C ~ Vector product of two vectors and is a vector and has a magnitude ~ C that is perpendicular to both C = A B sin equals area of parallelogram shown A and B ~C = ~ A ~ B = AB sin 16

Angular momentum is in same direction as angular velocity vector Because mr 2 is moment of inertia for a single particle we have ~L = I~! 20
Angular momentum (cont d) Angular momentum of this particle about a general point on is not parallel to angular velocity vector z axis Angular momentum computed about a point on ~L 0 ~ L 0 for same particle attached to same disk but with z axis that is not at center of circle 21
Angular momentum (cont d) For any system of particles that rotates about a symmetry axis We now attach a second particle of equal mass to spinning disk at a point diametrically opposite to first particle Total angular momentum is again parallel to angular ~L 0 = ~ L 0 1 + ~ L 0 2 velocity vector ~! In this case axis of rotation passes through center of mass of two-particle system and mass distribution is symmetric about this axis Such an axis is called a symmetry axis For any system of particles that rotates about a symmetry axis total angular momentum (which is sum of angular momenta of individual particles ) is parallel to angular velocity ~L = I~! 22
Conservation of angular momentum Angular momentum of a particle ~L = ~r ~p (with respect to origin from which position vector is measured ) Torque (or moment of force) with respect to same origin is ~ = ~r F ~ Position vector from origin to point where force is applied ~r ~ = ~r ~p ~L = d dt (~r ~p )=( ~r ~p )+(~r ~p ) ~r But of course ~r ~p = ~r mv = m( ~r ~r )=0 ~L = ~r ~p = ~ If ~ =0) ~ L =0) L is a vector constant in time If net external torque acting on a system about some point is zero total angular momentum of system about that point remains constant 23
