Centripetal force keeps an object in circular motion.

Page 3: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

I. Rotation and Revolution (10.1)A. Rotation– when object turns about an internal axis

1. Axis– straight line around whichrotation takes place

axis

Chapter 10: Circular Motion

Page 4: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

2. Revolution– when object turns about an external axis

Page 5: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

3. Earth– undergoes both types of rotational motion

a. revolves around sun every 365 1/4 days.

b. revolves around an axis passing through its geographical poles once every 24 hours.

II. Rotational Speed (10.2)A. Linear speed– distance moved per unit timeB. Tangential speed– the speed of something

moving along a circular path

1. direction of motion is always tangent to the circle2. For circular motion can use terms linear and tangential speed interchangeably

Page 7: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

C. Rotational speed– sometimes called angular speed1. Equals the number of rotations per unit time2. Expressed in revolutions per minute (RPM)

45 RPM records

33 RPM records 78 RPM records

What is a tachometer?

Page 9: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

D. Tangential and Rotational speed are related

1. Tangential speed is directly proportional to rotational speed and the radial distance

from the axis of rotation.tangential speed ~radial distance X rotational speed

Page 10: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

In summary– in any rigidly rotation system, all parts have the same rotational speed. However, linear or tangential speed varies.Tangential speed depends on rotational speed and distance from axis of rotation

think!At an amusement park, you and a friend sit on a large rotating disk. You sit at the edge and have a rotational speed of 4 RPM and a linear speed of 6 m/s. Your friend sits halfway to the center. What is her rotational speed? What is her linear speed?

Answer:

Her rotational speed is also 4 RPM, and her linear speed is 3 m/s.

The tapered shape of railroad train wheels (shown exaggerated here) is essential on the curves of railroad tracks.

10.2 Rotational Speed

Page 14: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

When a train rounds a curve, the wheels have different linear speeds for the same rotational speed.

III. Centripetal Force (10.3)A. Centripetal Force– any force that causes an object to follow a circular path

1. Centripetal means “center seeking” or “toward the center”.

Page 17: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

B. Centripetal force is the name given to any force that is directed at a right angle to the path of a moving object that tends to produce circular motion1. Gravitational forces directed towards the

center of the Earth holds the moon in an almost circular orbit around the Earth

Page 18: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

2.Electrical forces hold electrons and cause them to rotate around the nucleus of the atom

Page 19: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

3. A car rounding a corner has sideways-acting frictional forces between tires and road that provides centripetal force that holds car on curved path

Page 20: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION
Page 21: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

C. Equation for centripetal force  

1. Equation for centripetal acceleration (ac)

2. Substitute centripetal acceleration in Newton’s second law to get equation for centripetal force

IV. Centripetal and Centrifugal Forces (10.4)A. centrifugal force– means “center fleeing”, or away from the center”.

1. common misconception to state that a centrifugal force pulls outward

Page 23: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

2. Example: if string breaks holding a whirling can– the can would go off in a tangential path because there is no force acting on it

Page 24: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION
Page 25: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

B. The “centrifugal-force effect” is attributed not to any real force but to inertia (the tendency of the moving body to follow a straight-line path.

Page 26: Chapter 10:  CIRCULAR MOTION

V. Centrifugal Force in a Rotating Reference Frame (10.5)A. Centrifugal force is an effect of rotation. It is

not part of an interaction and therefore it cannot be a true force.

B. Physicists refer to centrifugal force as a fictitious forceC. To observers who air in a rotating system, centrifugal force seems very real

think!A heavy iron ball is attached by a spring to a rotating platform, as shown in the sketch. Two observers, one in the rotating frame and one on the ground at rest, observe its motion. Which observer sees the ball being pulled outward, stretching the spring? Which observer sees the spring pulling the ball into circular motion?

think!A heavy iron ball is attached by a spring to a rotating platform, as shown in the sketch. Two observers, one in the rotating frame and one on the ground at rest, observe its motion. Which observer sees the ball being pulled outward, stretching the spring? Which observer sees the spring pulling the ball into circular motion?

Answer: The observer in the reference frame of the rotating platform states that centrifugal force pulls radially outward on the ball, which stretches the spring. The observer in the rest frame states that centripetal force supplied by the stretched spring pulls the ball into circular motion.

(Only the observer in the rest frame can identify an action-reaction pair of forces; where action is spring-on-ball, reaction is ball-on-spring. The rotating observer can’t identify a reaction counterpart to the centrifugal force because there isn’t any.)
