Dynamics
What is dynamics?

• A branch of mechanics that deals with


forces (included masses) and their
relation primarily to the motion but
sometimes also to the equilibrium of
bodies

Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion
Intro: What does centripetal force, Fc mean?
 We know that centripetal acceleration (in kinematics of UCM) is
necessary to keep the object stay moving in a circle.
 Thus, the centripetal force is the net force acting on the
object that moves in the circular path and its directed toward
the center around which the body is moving.
 We have centripetal acceleration,

Intro: What does centripetal force, Fc mean?

 Its not a new type of force. Just like we use Fnet generally to
describe the forces that accelerate an object linearly. The Fc is just
“Fnet in circular situations”.

RECALL !!
 The regular forces, 𝐹𝑔 , 𝐹𝑇 , 𝐹𝑁 , 𝐹𝑆 .
 Gravitational force, 𝑭𝒈 = W = mg: downward to the ground
 Normal force 𝑭𝑵 : perpendicular to the surface
 Tension force 𝑭𝑻 : along the cord and away from object
 Static friction force 𝑭𝑺 : fs = µsN

• Centrifugal force is an “apparent” This
force that we mistakenly think pulls an does

Force on ball
• If you’re holding on to the string exerted by
attached to the ball while it goes in a string
circle, it’s true that your hand feels an Force on hand

3rd Law (your hand pulls on the ball string
to keep it moving in a circle, the ball Newton’s 3rd Law
pulls back on your hand).

Review Questions
2. An object is moving in uniform circular motion with a
mass m, a speed v, and a radius r. Which of the
following will quadruple the centripetal force on the
object?

A. Doubling the speed.


B. Cutting the speed to one half.
C. Cutting the radius to one half.
D. Cutting the radius to one fourth.

July 17 Circular Motion - Dr Aisyah Hartini Jahidin (PASUM 2017/2018) 10


Review Questions
Explanation for #2:>
Doubling the speed will quadruple the centripetal force
on the object.
𝒗𝟐 For a constant mass and radius,
𝑭𝒄 = 𝒎 the Fc is directly proportional to

So 2X the speed
means 4X the force

Dynamics of Uniform Circular Motion
How do we use Free Body diagrams and Newton’s Laws to
solve circular motion problems?

TIPS:
 Remember that the FC (net force) on the object is ALWAYS directed
towards the center of the circle, no matter where the object is
located in its circular path.
𝑣2
 Two ways to solve by using FBD and 2nd Newton’s Law, 𝐹𝑐 = 𝑚 :
𝑟
1. Put ’+ve’ sign for all the forces that having direction towards
the center and ‘–ve’ sign for forces that outside the circle.
2. .Upward as ’+ve’ sign and downward as ‘–ve’ sign … but this
might be confusing in certain situations

Apparent Weight in Circular Motion
Have you ever been driving in a car or a bus that
went over a bump, or into a dip?
Do you remember feeling slightly more light or
heavy than usual? You probably felt a funny feeling
in your stomach...

This is not a trick of the mind... when an object


rides over a hill or into a dip, the normal force from
the surface is effected by centripetal motion, and it
changes how heavy you feel!
We sometimes call this 'feeling' of heaviness or lightness an object's
apparent weight.

Apparent weight is what we draw on our free body diagram as


Normal Force.

It is the same as the force of a surface pushing against an object.

Circular Motion - Dr Aisyah Hartini Jahidin (PASUM 2017/2018) 17


Example: Car on a hilly road
Apparent Weight in Circular Motion
1. A car is traveling at a velocity of 20 m s-1. The driver of the car
has a mass of 60 kg. The car is located at the bottom of a dip
in the road. The radius of the dip is 80 m.
What is the apparent weight of the driver (the normal force
supplied by the seat of the car to support him) at the bottom
of the dip?

Given:
v = 20 m s-1
m = 60 kg
r = 80 m

Banked and Unbanked Curves
 When a car goes around a curve, there
must be a net force towards the center
of the circle of which the curve is an arc.
 An outside force must act on the car to
keep it on the road (that is turning),
hence cause the centripetal
acceleration.
 If the road is flat, that force is supplied
by static friction.
 If the frictional force is insufficient, the
car will tend to move nearly as the skid
marks straight line show.
 The frictional force which can be
supplied by the contact between the
road and the wheels of a car is variable,
depending on the conditions of the road
and the tires of the vehicle.

July 17 Circular Motion - Dr Aisyah Hartini Jahidin (PASUM 2017/2018) 36


Banked and Unbanked Curves

As long as the tires do not slip, the friction is static.

If the tires do start to slip, the friction is kinetic, which is


bad in two ways:

1. The kinetic frictional force is smaller than the static.


2. The static frictional force can point towards the
center of the circle, but the kinetic frictional force
opposes the direction of motion, making it very
difficult to regain control of the car and continue
around the curve.

Examples
1. A small ball of mass 0.5 kg is whirled at the end of a rope in a
conical pendulum with a radius of 2 m at a speed of 4 ms-1. What is
the tension in the rope?

Solution:
Given the values of m = 0.5 kg = 500 g, r = 2 m, v = 4 ms-1

3. A 2 kg mass swings in a horizontal circle at the end of a cord of
length 10 m. What is the constant speed of the mass if the
rope makes an angle of 300 with the vertical?
Solution Find: v=?
