When you ride a Ferris wheel,
on what point in the Ferris
wheel do you think the wheel
moves faster? Near the center
or far from the center?
The branch of mechanics concerned
with the motion of objects without
reference to the forces which cause
the motion.
 A rigid body is defined as a body on
which the distance between two points
never changes whatever be the force
applied on it.
A unit of angle, equal to an angle at the
center of a circle whose arc is equal in
length to the radius.
Revolution is an
angle measurement unit.
A revolution is a unit of plane angle,
and defined as a complete turn
around a circle
Torque is a measure of the force that
can cause an object to rotate about an
axis. Just as force is what causes an
object to accelerate in linear
kinematics, torque is what causes an
object to acquire angular
acceleration. Torque is a vector
quantity.
Displacement is a vector quantity that
refers to "how far out of place an
object is"; it is the object's overall
change in position.

ANSWER
Angular displacement, θ, is measured in RADIANS,
REVOLUTIONS, or DEGREES. But Radians is the best
measure for rotation of rigid bodies.

1 rev = 360º = 2π rad

Radians is the angle subtended at the center of the
circle and is computed by the ratio of the arc length
and the radius of the circle.
 A runner goes around a circular track that has a
diameter of 8.5 m. If he runs around the entire track
for a distance of 60 m, what is his angular
displacement?

ANSWER
 DIAMETER OF 8.5 M
DISTANCE OF 60 M

SOLUTION:
The linear displacement of the runner, s = 60 m. The
diameter of the curved path, d = 8.5 m = 2r, so r =
4.25 m. Solve the equation for θ.
θ = s/r
θ = 60m /4.25 m
θ = 14.12 radians
Angular Velocity, ω, is the rate of change of
rotational displacement per unit time.
(Radians per second)
It can also be expressed using the frequency
of revolutions. (rev/s or rpm)
1. If a ball is travelling in a circle of
diameter 10m with velocity 20m/s, find the angular
velocity of the ball.

ANSWER
SOLUTION:

ω=v/r
In this case the radius is 5 (half of the diameter) and linear
velocity is 20 m/s.
ω=20/5
=4 rad/sec
2. What is the angular velocity of a spinning top if it
travels π radians in a third of a second?

ANSWER
SOLUTION:

ω=θ/t
ω=θ/t
=π/(1/3)
=3π rad/sec
Angular Acceleration, α, is the rate of change
of angular velocity per unit time.

It can also be expressed by the quotient of the
linear acceleration and the radius.

 A pulley 50 cm in radius. If the linear
acceleration of a point located on the edge of the
pulley is 2 m/s2, determine the angular acceleration
of the pulley.

ANSWER
SOLUTION:

α=a/r
50 cm= 0.5 m
α = (2 m/s2 )/0.5m
= 4 rad/s2
 ROTATION WITH
CONSTANT ANGULAR
ACCELERATION
 If a rotating object is accelerating constantly, then its
angular velocity changes with the same rate.
 For objects that rotate with a constant angular acceleration,
there are a few equations, called the kinematic equations
for angular motion, that you can use to determine the
angular position or angular velocity of the object at any
point in time.
A wheel is rotating with constant angular
acceleration of 3 rad/𝑠 2 . What is its velocity after 5
seconds if at 0s, its angular velocity is 5 rad/s.

ANSWER
SOLUTION:

ωf =5 rad/s + (5 rad/s2 ) (5 sec)

= 30 rad/s

KINETIC
ENERGY
 is the kinetic energy due to the rotation of an object. The kinetic
energy of a rotating object is analogous to linear kinetic energy and
can be expressed in terms of the moment of inertia and angular
velocity. The total kinetic energy of an extended object can be
expressed as the sum of the translational kinetic energy of the center
of mass and the rotational kinetic energy about the center of mass.
 If an object has an angular velocity of 1.2
radians per second and the moment of inertia is 6 x
10^5 kilograms meters squared, what is the
rotational kinetic energy possessed by the object?
 The mechanical work is the amount of energy
transferred by a force. Like energy, it is a scalar
quantity, with SI units of joules.

Quantifies the variation of moment of inertia in
relation to the distance of rotation axis from the mass
center. When the body's rotation axis passes through

from the mass center, the moment of inertia
increases.
