Circular and Rotational Motion
Circular and Rotational Motion
in
Circular Motion:-
Uniform Circular Motion:-Circular motion is said to the uniform if the speed of the particle
(along the circular path) remains constant.
Angular Displacement:-
Vector form:-
Angular Velocity:-
Scalar form:- v = rω
Vector form:-
Angular Acceleration:-
Scalar form:- a= rα
Vector form:-
Radial component,
Relation betweenlinear acceleration (a), angular velocity (ω) and linear velocity (v):-
a=v2/r = ω2/r

Time period:- It is the time taken by the particle to complete one rotation.
T= 2π/ω
Frequency:- The number of rotations made by the particle per second is called the frequency
of rotation.
ω = 2πf
So, f = 1/T
Centripetal force:- The force, acting along the radius towards the center, which is essential to
keep the body moving in a circle with uniform speed is called centripetal force. It acts always
along the radius towards the center. A centripetal force does no work.
F = mv2/r = mrω2
Centrifugal force:- Centrifugal force is the fictitious force which acts on a body, rotating with
uniform velocity in a circle, along the radius away from the center. Magnitude of centrifugal
force is,
F = mv2/r
Centripetal and centrifugal forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. They
cannot be termed as action and reaction since action and reaction never act on same body.
Banking of Roads:-
(a) Velocity of the cyclist:- Greater the velocity, greater is his angle of inclination with the
vertical.
(b) Radius of curvature:- Smaller the radius, greater is the angle with the vertical.
The minimum velocity of the body, at the lowest point, required to take the body round a
vertical circle is √5gr.
So, v = √5gr
The minimum tension in the string, at the lowest point, required to take the body around
the vertical circle is equal to six times the weight of the body.
So, T1= 6 mg
VA2 = VB2+4gl
VA≥√5gl
VB≥√gl
(i) Tangential acceleration at changes the magnitude of velocity vector and is defined as,
at = dv/dt

(iii) The total acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential and centripetal acceleration.
So, a = √at2+ac2
Rotational Motion
Rigid Body:- A rigid body consists of a number of particles confined to a fixed geometrical shape
and size in such a way that the distance between any pair of particles always remains constant.
Moment of Inertia (Rotational Inertia) I:-Moment of Inertiaof a body, about a given axis, is
defined as the sum of the products of the masses of different particles constituting the body and
the square of their distances from the axis of rotation. It depends upon two factors,
(iii) Moment of inertia of a body should always be referred to as about a given axis,
since it depends upon distribution of mass about that axis.
(iv) It does not depend upon the state of motion of rotating body. It is same whether
the body is at rest, rotating slowly or rotating fast about the given axis.
I = ∑mr2
So, I = 2Kr/ω2
Radius Gyration:- Radius of gyration of a body about a given axis is that distance, at which if
whole of the mass of the body were concentrated, it would have same moment of inertia as
that of body.
I = MK2
So, K = √I/M
Again, Radius of gyration of a body about a given axis is defined as the square root of the mean
of the squares of distances of various particles of the body from the axis of rotation.
Perpendicular axes theorem:- It states that the moment of inertia of a plane lamina, about an
axis perpendicular to the plane lamina, is equal to the sum of the moments of inertia of the
lamina about two mutually perpendicular axes lying in the plane of lamina and intersecting
each other at the point where the perpendicular axis passes through the body.
I = Ix+Iy
gravity and the product of the mass of body and the square
I = Ig+Mh2

Here, Ig is the moment of inertia of the body about an axis through its center of gravity G.
Moment of inertia of a thin rod about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to
its length:-
? I =Ml2/12
Moment of inertia of a ring about an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its
plane:-
(b)About a tangent
(a) About an axis passing through its center and perpendicular to its plane:- I = ½ MR2
(a) About an axis passing through the center and perpendicular to the plane:-
(a) First
(c) Third Law:- It states that to every torque there is an equal and opposite torque.
Law of conservation of angular momentum:- The net angular momentum of an isolated system
(no external torque), always remains constant.?
I1ω1=I2ω2
Motion of a point mass attached to a string would over a cylinder capable of rotating about
its axis of symmetry:-
