10.4 Rotational Kinetic Energy An object rotating about some axis with an
angular speed, , has rotational kinetic energy even though it may not have any translational kinetic energy
Each particle has a kinetic energy of Ki = 1/2 mivi
2
Since the tangential velocity depends on the distance, r, from the axis of rotation, we can substitute vi = i r

Rotational Kinetic Energy, cont The total rotational kinetic energy of the
rigid object is the sum of the energies of all its particles
Where I is called the moment of inertia
4
Rotational Kinetic Energy, final There is an analogy between the kinetic
energies associated with linear motion (K = 1/2 mv 2) and the kinetic energy associated with rotational motion (KR= 1/2 I2)
Rotational kinetic energy is not a new type of energy, the form is different because it is applied to a rotating object
The units of rotational kinetic energy are Joules (J)
5
Moment of Inertia The definition of moment of inertia is
The dimensions of moment of inertia are ML2 and its SI units are kg.m2
We can calculate the moment of inertia of an object more easily by assuming it is divided into many small volume elements, each of mass mi
6
Moment of Inertia, cont We can rewrite the expression for I in terms
of m
With the small volume segment assumption,
If is constant, the integral can be evaluated with known geometry, otherwise its variation with position must be known

10. 5 Torque
The moment arm, d, is the perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to a line drawn along the direction of the force d = r sin
25
10.5 Definition of Torque Torque, , is the tendency of a force to
rotate an object about some axis Torque is a vector = r F sin = F d
F is the force is the angle between the force and the
horizontal (the line from the axis to the position of the force)
d is the moment arm (or lever arm)
26
Torque, cont. The horizontal component of the force
(F cos ) has no tendency to produce a rotation
Torque will have direction If the turning tendency of the force is
counterclockwise, the torque will be positive
If the turning tendency is clockwise, the torque will be negative
27
Torque Unit The SI unit of torque is N.m
Although torque is a force multiplied by a distance, it is very different from work and energy
The units for torque are reported in N.m and not changed to Joules
28
Torque as a Vector Product Torque is the vector
product or cross product of two other vectors
29
Vector Product, General
Given any two vectors, and
The vector product
is defined as a third vector, whose magnitude is
The direction of C is given by the right-hand rule Fig 10.13
30
Properties of Vector Product The vector product is not commutative
If is parallel ( = 0o or 180o) to
then This means that
If is perpendicular to then

Net Torque on an object
The force F1 will tend to cause a counterclockwise rotation about O
The force F2 will tend to cause a clockwise rotation about O

10.6 Force vs. Torque
Forces can cause a change in linear motion, which is
described by Newton’s Second Law F = Ma.
Torque can cause a change in rotational motion, which is described by the equation

The Rigid Object In Equilibrium
The net external force must be equal zero
The net external torque about any axis must be equal zero

10.7 Rotational motion of a rigid object under a net torque The magnitude of the torque produced by a force
around the center of the circle is = Ft r = (mat) r
The tangential acceleration is related to the angular acceleration = (mat) r = (mr) r = (mr 2)
Since mr 2 is the moment of inertia of the particle, = I The torque is directly proportional to the angular
acceleration and the constant of proportionality is the moment of inertia

Work in Rotational Motion Find the work done by a
force on the object as it rotates through an infinitesimal distance ds = r d
The radial component of the force does no work because it is perpendicular to the displacement Fig 10.19
61
Work in Rotational Motion, cont Work is also related to rotational kinetic
energy:
This is the same mathematical form as the work-kinetic energy theorem for translation
If an object is both rotating and translating, W = K + KR
62
Power in Rotational Motion The rate at which work is being done in
a time interval dt is the power
This is analogous to P = Fv in a linear system
