Angular Distance – Radian measure<br />

θ = arc length/radius = l/r = s / r<br />

360º = 2π radians<br />

Angular Speed vs. Linear Speed<br />

Linear speed = v = r•ω = radius • angular speed<br />

Constant Angular-Acceleration in Circular Motion<br />

ω = ω ο + α•t<br />

no θ<br />

θ−θ ο = ω ο •t + ½•α•t² no ω<br />

ω 2 2<br />

= ω ο + 2•α•(θ−θο ) no t<br />

θ−θ ο = ½•(ω ο + ω)•t no α<br />

θ−θ ο = ω•t - ½•α•t² no ω ο<br />

Torque = τ = F•L•sin θ<br />

Where θ is the angle between F and L; unit: N•m<br />

Chapter 09. –<br />

Elasticity; Stress and Strain<br />

(Assumes objects stretch according to Hooke’s Law as long as<br />

they<br />

are not stretched passed the proportional limit.)<br />

For tensile stress<br />

F = k•∆L = (EA/L 0 )•∆L<br />

F = applied <strong>for</strong>ce<br />

E = elastic (or Young’s) modulus<br />

A = cross-sectional area –<br />

perpendicular to the <strong>for</strong>ce<br />

L 0 = the original length<br />

∆L = change in the length<br />

∆L/L 0 = (1/E)•(F/A)<br />

strain = (1/E)•(stress)<br />

E = (stress / strain)<br />

Newton's Second Law <strong>for</strong> Rotation<br />

torque = τ = I•α<br />

moment of inertia = I CM = m•r² (<strong>for</strong> a point mass)<br />

Rotational Kinetic Energy (See LEM on last page)<br />

KE rotational = ½•I•ω 2 = ½•I• (v / r) 2<br />

KE rolling w/o slipping = ½•m•v 2 + ½•I•ω 2<br />

Moment of Inertia – I CM<br />

point mass I CM = m•r 2<br />

cylindrical hoop I CM = m•r 2<br />

solid cylinder or disk I CM = ½ m•r 2<br />

solid sphere I CM = 2 / 5 m•r 2<br />

hollow sphere I CM = ⅔ m•r 2<br />

thin rod (center) I CM = 1 / 12 m•L 2<br />

When the thin rod is rotated about its end rather than<br />

about is center of mass, the moment of inertia becomes<br />

thin rod (end) I End = ⅓ m•L 2<br />

Angular Momentum = L = I•ω = m•v•r•sin θ<br />

Angular Impulse equals CHANGE IN Angular<br />

Momentum<br />

∆L = τ Average •∆t = ∆(I•ω)<br />

Compressive stress is the exact opposite of tensile<br />

stress. Objects are compressed rather than<br />

stretched. As <strong>for</strong> springs the equations are the same<br />

<strong>for</strong> both tensile and compressive stress and the same<br />

elastic modulus is used <strong>for</strong> both calculations.<br />

∆L/L 0 = −(1/E)•(F/A)<br />

strain = − (1/E)•(stress)<br />

E = − (stress / strain)<br />

There is a negative sign because the length<br />

decreases as the <strong>for</strong>ce increases (∆L is negative).<br />

Shear stress is the application of two <strong>for</strong>ces that distort<br />

an object (like de<strong>for</strong>ming a rectangle into a parallelogram).<br />

The <strong>for</strong>ces are equal and opposite (parallel, but not<br />

oriented to directly oppose each other). (A second pair of<br />

matched <strong>for</strong>ces is also required to maintain equilibrium while the<br />

stress is applied.)<br />

∆L /L 0 = (1/G)•(F/A)<br />

strain = (1/G)•(stress)<br />

G = (stress / strain)<br />

G = shear modulus<br />

A = area – Parallel to the <strong>for</strong>ce.<br />

L 0 = original length of object<br />

∆L = change in length due to <strong>for</strong>ce<br />

Note that ∆L is perpendicular to L 0 .<br />
