Gen-Physics 2-Module 2

This module covers rotation of rigid bodies in physics. It includes two lessons, on moment of inertia and rotational kinematics. The goals are to calculate moment of inertia, describe rotational quantities using vectors, determine angular momentum, and apply rotational kinematics equations. The document provides background on analyzing rotational motion of objects like compact discs, Ferris wheels, saw blades, and fans as rigid bodies. It discusses angles measured in radians and converting between radians and degrees. An assessment activity asks students to convert angles between radians and degrees.

Module 1: Rotation of Rigid Bodies

I. Introduction
This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you master Rotation
of Rigid Bodies. The scope of this module permits it to be used in many different learning
situations. The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The
lessons are arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course.

II. The module includes two lessons, namely:


• Lesson 1 – Moment of Inertia
• Lesson 2 – Rotational Kinematics (Angular position, Angular velocity, Angular acceleration)

III. Competencies
After going through this module, you are expected to:
1. Calculate the moment of inertia about a given axis of single-object and multiple-object
systems
2. Describe rotational quantities using vectors
3. Determine angular momentum of different system
4. Apply the rotational kinematics relations for system with constant angular acceleration

IV. What’s In?

What do the motions of a compact disc, a Ferris wheel, a circular saw blade, and a
ceiling fan have in common? None of these can be represented adequately as a moving point;
each involves a body that rotates about an axis that is stationary in some inertial frame of
reference.
Rotation occurs at all scales, from the motions of electrons in atoms to the motions of
entire galaxies. We need to develop some general methods for analyzing the motion of a
rotating body. In this chapter and the next we consider bodies that have definite size and
definite shape, and that in general can have rotational as well as translational motion.
Real-world bodies can be very complicated; the forces that act on them can deform
them—stretching, twisting, and squeezing them. We’ll neglect these deformations for now and
assume that the body has a perfectly definite and unchanging shape and size. We call this
idealized model a rigid body. This module is mostly about rotational motion of a rigid body.

V. What happens when objects rotate?


A boy in motion may be traveling either in a straight line(rectilinear) or along a curve
(curvilinear). By definition, a body in pure translational motion moves such that a line drawn
between any two of its internal points remains parallel to itself after displacement. An example
is when you carry a glass full of water from one place to another. It is held in a way such that
the content does not spill.
Read the boxed article below which describes an instrument that may be used to detect
the slightest movements of rotating objects, like the earth.

VI. Angles in Radians


In trigonometry, you have encountered angle measures not only in degrees but also in
radians. In science, angles are often measure in radians (rad). In the figure 1 below, when the
arc length s is equal to the radius r, the angle θ swept by r is equal to 1 rad. In general, any
angle θ measured in radians is defined as,
s
θ=
r
Since the radian is the ration of an arc length to the radian becomes a pure number.
360o equals 2π rad, or one complete revolution. This means that one revolution is equivalent
to 6.28 rad.
Figure 1 Measuring angles in radians

Figure 2 shows a circle marked with both radians and degrees. Any angle in degrees
can be converted into an angle in radians by multiplying it by 2π/360 ° , or its lowest term π/ 180
°.
π
In symbols, this is written as θ (rad) = ● θ (degrees).
180°
Let us have this as an example. Convert 110° into radians.

VII. Assessment

answer on a sheet of paper and show your solution.)

1. 36° to rad
2. 125° to rad
3. 2π/5 rad to degrees
4. π/7 rad to degrees
