 ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS

• Angular Position, Velocity and Acceleration

» The study of rotational motion begins with the kinematics
of the motion, that is, the relation between angle, θ,
angular velocity, ω, and angular acceleration, α.
ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS
• The angular position of the rigid
object is the angle θ between this
reference line on the object and the
fixed reference line in space, which is
often chosen as the x axis.

• Angular displacement

• average angular speed

ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS
• instantaneous angular speed

• average angular acceleration

• instantaneous angular acceleration

 ROTATIONAL DYNAMICS
• TORQUE- The cause of changes in the
rotational motion of an object about some axis

If two or more forces are acting

 ROTATIONAL DYNAMICS
• Relationship Between Torque and Angular
Acceleration

“the torque acting on the particle is

proportional to its angular acceleration”, and
the proportionality constant is the moment of
inertia, I.

 ROTATIONAL DYNAMICS
• The rate at which work is done by an external force in
rotating a rigid object about a fixed axis, or the power
delivered, is

• The total kinetic energy of a rigid object rolling on a

rough surface without slipping equals the rotational
kinetic energy about its center of mass plus the
translational kinetic energy of the center of mass
