In this chapter we will cover the following topics:
-Rolling of circular objects and its relationship with friction g j p-Redefinition of torque as a vector to describe rotational problems that are more complicated than the rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axisaxis -Angular Momentum of single particles and systems or particles -Newton’s second law for rotational motion C i f l M-Conservation of angular Momentum
-Applications of the conservation of angular momentum

t1 = 0 t2 = tConsider an object with circular cross section that rollsRolling as Translation and Rotation Combined
along a surface without slipping. This motion, though common, is complicated. We can simplify its study bytreating it as a combination of translation of the center oftreating it as a combination of translation of the center ofmass and rotation of the object about the center of mass
Consider the two snapshots of a rolling bicycle wheel shown in the figure. p g y gAn observer stationary with the ground will see the center of mass O of the wheel move forward with a speed . The pointcomv P at which the wheel makes contactwith the road also moves with the same speed. During the time interval between
the two snapshots both O and P cover a distance . (eqs.1) During com

Problem 2. An automobile traveling at 80.0 km/h has tires of 75.0 cm diameter.(a) What is the angular speed of the tires about their axes? (b) If the car is brought to a stop uniformly in 30.0 complete turns of the tires (without skidding), what is the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the wheels?(c) How far does the car move during the braking?

vO We consider rolling as a pure rotation about an axis of rotation that passes through the contact point P between the wheel and the road. The angularg
velocity of the rotation is comvR
In order to define the velocity vector for each point we must know its magnitudeas well as its direction. The direction for each point on the wheel points along thetangent to its circular orbit For example at point A the velocity vector isv tangent to its circular orbit. For example at point A the velocity vector is
perpendicular to the dotted line that connects pont A with point P. The speedof each point is given by: . Here is the distance between a parti

Here we use v to denote the speed of its center of mass and is its angular speed — at the moment it leaves the roof. Since (up to that moment) the ball rolls without sliding wecan set v = R = v where R = 0.10 m. Using I MR 1

When an object rolls with constant speed (see top figure) Friction and Rolling

it has no tendency to slide at the contact point P and thus no frictional force acts there. If a net force acts on the rolling body it results in a non zero acceleration a0coma rolling body it results in a non-zero acceleration for the center of mass (see lower figure). If the rolling object accelerates to the right it has the tendency to slide

Problem 60. A horizontal platform in the shape of a circular disk rotates on a frictionlessbearing about a vertical axle through the center of the disk. The platform has a mass of 150 kg, a radius of 22.0 m, and a rotational inertia of 300 kgm about the axis of rotation.A 60 kg student walks slowly from the rim of the platform towrd the center. If the angular speed of the system is 1.5 rad/s when the student starts at the rim, what is the angular speed when she is 0.5 m from the center?
The initial rotational inertia of the system is Ii = Idisk + Istudent, where Idisk = 300 kg m2
(which, incidentally, does agree with Table 10-2(c)) and Istudent = mR2 where m = 60 kg ( , y, g ( )) student gand R = 2.0 m. The rotational inertia when the student reaches r = 0.5 m is If = Idisk + mr2. Angular momentum conservation leads to
