ROTATIONAL MOTION

           ROTATIONAL MOTION






Brief summary:
Rotational motion is more complicated than linear motion, and only the motion of rigid bodies will be considered here. A rigid body is an object with a mass that holds a rigid shape, such as a phonograph turntable, in contrast to the sun, which is a ball of gas. Many of the equations for the mechanics of rotating objects are similar to the motion equations for linear motion.

Angular velocity and angular acceleration

The angular displacement of a rotating wheel is the angle between the radius at the beginning and the end of a given time interval. The SI units are radians. The average angular velocity

and is measured in radians/second/second or rad/s 2.


Consider a wheel rolling without slipping in a straight line. The forward displacement of the wheel is equal to the linear displacement of a point fixed on the rim. 

d = S = rθ

In this case, the average forward speed of the wheel is v = dt = ( rθ)/ t = rω, where r is the distance from the center of rotation to the point of the calculated velocity. The direction of the velocity is tangent to the path of the point of rotation.

The average forward acceleration of the wheel is a T = r(ω f − ω o)/ t = rα. This component of the acceleration is tangential to the point of rotation and represents the changing speed of the object. The direction is the same as the velocity vector.

The radial component of the linear acceleration is a r = v 2r = ω 2 r.

Torque

It is easier to open a door by pushing on the edge farthest from the hinges than by pushing in the middle. It is intuitive that the magnitude of the force applied and the distance from the point of application to the hinge affect the tendency of the door to rotate. This physical quantity, torque, is t = r × F sin θ, where F is the force applied, r is the distance from the point of application to the center of the rotation, and θ is the angle from r to F.

Moment of inertia

Substitute Newton's second law into the definition for torque with θ of 90 degrees (a right angle between F and r) and use the relationship between linear acceleration and tangential angular acceleration to obtain t = r F = rma = mr 2 ( ar) = mr 2α. The quantity mr 2 is defined as moment of inertia of a point mass about the center of rotation.

Imagine two objects of the same mass with different distribution of that mass. The first object might be a heavy ring supported by struts on an axle like a flywheel. The second object could have its mass close to the central axis. Even though the masses of the two objects are equal, it is intuitive that the flywheel will be more difficult to push to a high number of revolutions per second because not only the amount of mass but also the distribution of the mass affects the ease in initiating rotation for a rigid body. The general definition of moment of inertia, also called rotational inertia, for a rigid body is I = ∑ m i r i 2 and is measured in SI units of kilogram‐meters 2.

ELECTRO STATICS

  ELECTRO STATICS electro statics small summary of the topic Electrostatics, as the name implies, is the study of stationary electric charges. A rod of plastic rubbed with fur or a rod of glass rubbed with silk will attract small pieces of paper and is said to be electrically charged. The charge on plastic rubbed with fur is defined as negative, and the charge on glass rubbed with silk is defined as positive. Electric charge Electrically charged objects have several important characteristics: Like charges repel one another; that is, positive repels positive and negative repels negative. Unlike charges attract each another; that is, positive attracts negative. Charge is conserved. A neutral object has no net charge. If the plastic rod and fur are initially neutral, when the rod becomes charged by the fur, a negative charge is transferred from the fur to the rod. The net negative charge on the rod is equal to the net positive charge on the fur.

Semi conductor electronics

  SEMI CONDUCTOR ELECTRONICS Brief summary: Semiconductor Basics If resistors are the most basic passive component in electrical or electronic circuits, then we have to consider the Signal Diode as being the most basic active component. However, unlike a resistor, a diode doesn't behave linearly with reference to the applied voltage because it has an exponential I-V relationship and thus can't be described simply by using Ohm’s law as we do for resistors. Diodes are basic unidirectional semiconductor devices that will only allow current to flow through them in one direction only, acting more like a one way electrical valve, (Forward Biased Condition). But, before we've a glance at how signal or power diodes work we first got to understand the semiconductors basic construction and concept. Diodes are made from a single piece of Semiconductor material which has a positive “P-region” at one end and a negative “N-region” at the other, and which has a resistivity  value some

Optics

                    OPTICS Optics is one among the branches of physics which deals with Study of light It explains about the behavior and properties of light. Optics is subdivided into two branches. Ray Optics and wave Optics Because light has dual nature. Light can be considered as a ray or it can be considered as a wave. The study of Optics also includes the construction of some Optical instruments and it Describes the behavior of visible light , Ultraviolet , And infrared light. Because light is an electromagnetic wave. Other sorts of electromagnetic wave like x-rays microwaves and radio waves exhibit similar properties. The study of optical science Is relevant to Some of the other studies including astronomy, various engineering fields, Photography And Medicine field like Ophthalmology and optometry. Also Optics include some practical applications We found in variety of Technologies In our daily to day life Including mirrors, lenses, telescopes microscopes, lasers and fiber
